The bottom seem on my 750xxl v1 has obvious delamination and it's just a matter of time before we get that indoor pool that I never wanted.

To Red Sea's credit, they were very fast and accommodating in sending a replacement. I got the 750xxl V3. Oh, that $500 top I had custom made from Top Lids, won't work on the new 750v3, greeeeeeaaaaat.

Anyway, should I even bother setting this thing up, or go with a Cade or IM tank? We are going to be in this house for another 5 years, and I will most certainly either go custom or a different brand in the new house.

Will this tank last me a solid 5 years, or should I cut my financial losses and get something else?

Should I further brace the stand with 2x4's in the corners? I'm not sure what to do.

Sorry for the late reply. I have seen at my LFS a 750XXL and the 900XXL they have running for 6 months now with no issues on the stands or tanks failing. The upgrade on the 750 works out well.

Did it come with the new stand too, with additional center support? If so, I would set it up. Reinforced really well.
