After seeing Tracy Morgan in 30 Rock, this is exactly who I would have hoped he would be like in real life. lol.How about Tracy Morgan and his obsession with tanks & fish?

I recently started a topic asking if a Red Sea rep was a regular participant on their sponsor forum and people told me I was better off emailing them as they rarely posted on R2R.

Yeah, it's pretty sweet! That shark tank is ugly though, if you ask me. I don't know why ATM does stuff like that, with their glaringly fake looking coral inserts, or the cartoony looking giant shark and boat decorations with his setup... I say let a tank and its livestock speak for themselves.
It really isn’t that complicated friend. It means I think RedSea may opt to pressure the LFS to work with OP, and that they likely have the capacity to do so if they do decide that is indeed their preferred path towards resolution. This opinion has nothing to do with who or to what degree anyone or any entity SHOULD be responsible for anything (which would simply be another opinion, one I don’t think is really worth thinking to hard about right now, as I’m a pragmatist).

I apologize, I didn't mean to leave everyone hanging. The whole situation got fairly complicated, but there is a resolution in the works; I'll update this once everything is actually done and settled. It's been a little on the back burner this past week anyway... My grandmother went into the hospital last Friday and sadly, she died Monday evening. So I've been dealing with all of that. But if everyone actually does what they've committed to doing, this mess with the tank should be resolved on Sunday.

Update? What ended up happening?
Heyh there, came across your thread and i had the same issue. I figured out what happened for mine.
Basically after my shipment, i placed the main tank with the styrofoam and cardboard wrappings on a built cabinet with the foam. So when i removed the said styrofoam and wrappings, the foam had sunked in as well.
I dont believe its a manufacturing defect. Lucky for me i have not filled the tank with water, so i am probably going to paste 2 strips of foam tape to compensate.

In the original the tank was clearly not flat regardless of foam or not. RS will say sorry if the tank leaks and ruins thousands in flooring, and will offer a new tank in compensation. Warranties suck in general.Heyh there, came across your thread and i had the same issue. I figured out what happened for mine.

Also curious about this as I am considering a 425XL as well. Good customer service is what I thought made people choose Red Sea over competitors...
