Yeah I contacted them... I actually contacted them about 3 months ago when I first noticed that the seam behind the "corner protectors" was failing. They said not to worry it was nothing. I contacted them again today and imagine Ill hear back in a couple weeks. My LFS I bought the tank through said they could probably get me a new one under warranty but the idea of trying to keep all my live stock in my garage in a big rubbermaid bin with a chiller Id have to go buy and moving lights and apex and this and that that Id have to move and set up was overwhelming (not to mention, do I really want to put everything back into a Red Sea tank?) Id no doubt watch 25%+ of my corals die in the process. I just don't have the band width in my life with work and everything else... So Thanks Redsea. 2.5 years. I had my last acrylic tank for 15 years before selling it to someone else. It had been moved 15 times. Rarely perfectly level etc. etc. Ill stop.. Obviously Im ticked.
Yeah thanks. I understand the problems with past stands. I actually don’t think that is what is causing my failure. The location of the seam failure might be evidence of it but I’m no expert. I look down the front of my tank and see my 3/4” glass bow out a solid 1/4”+. That’s a lot of pressure to bow 3/4” glass a very noticeable amount. I think over 2.5 years the silicone is just giving out. A center support at the top of the tank would have saved it in my opinion.
Yeah it was a sad ending to my reef for sure. I am not missing all of the maintenance involved.. Its also so much easier when Im gone for a week or two on vacation now. But alas, I do miss the fish and watching my coral grow.
