Greetings and thanks for letting me rejoin. It's been about 10 years since I had my last tank. It was a 120 with a sump, full cabinet, hood and combo metal halide and T-3 (?) bulbs. The tank failed, flooded the house! That and a subsequent move has kept me out of the hobby. My wife and I are now ready and anxious to get back into it. I can see from looking around and visiting local stores that technology has improved a bit since my last tank. Anyway, we are looking at getting a Red Sea Reefer 300 G2 and assorted equipment. See you all in the forums. :)👍🐟🐠

Hello and welcome!

If you haven’t purchased a tank yet, and especially after reading that your prior tank failed, I encourage you to search for seam failures in Red Sea tanks. The G2 seem to be more reliable, but I think everyone should have this information so they can make an informed decision before purchasing a tank.

if you didn’t get the tank yet, i would stay away from red sea tanks. You went down the flooding road already. Read some threads on here about those tanks
