Bubbles in seam on Red Sea E260

[JewFishman]

I was cleaning my tank the other day and noticed some bubbles in the seams that look a bit concerning. I have heard horror stories about the Red Sea tanks. Unfortunately after I had purchased. I have had to tank for about 1 1/2 years. I have filed a claim directly with Red Sea. They are saying it is not structural. And I do understand that. I would not like to have gallons of salt water on the floor at some point or have a problem after the warranty expires. I would love to switch brands. What are your guys thoughts on Red Seas warranty and what tank brand would you recommend
Thank you

You have documented your concerns. Keep your original photos and keep an eye on these bubbles for expansion in them, or the appearance of new bubbles.

If they are correct these will not get larger. If they appear to grow then resubmit your concerns and make plans to empty the tank before it fails.

Nothing is worth trying to recover after a flood failure. Hoping these don’t expand /grow, but that will be revealed with observation over time.

Im fighting with Red Sea, because my tank still under warranty , and the only want ro offer 200$ on product because is a “cosmetic blemish”

Once the sand starts getting in like that, it’s game over. They are 100% lying it isn’t structural. This is how the Red Sea failures start

If you choose to continue with this tank I would strongly urge you to have a game plan for a disaster.

I'm still in pain for switching to a new tank over the holiday, but I am not worrying anymore, so it was well worth it to me, to make a financially painful switch.

They did the same to me when my tank failed. I wish you the best with this tough situation. Your tank is failing, please start working towards a new solution.
