Manny's Red Sea Reefer 750 XXL

[leepink23]

I'm getting more and more paranoid about the seam failures. With a local Idaho reefer tearing down his tank recently based on the seam failure, it just hits close to home. This 750 is a replacement for a seam failure on a 300 I owned. I feel like I need to act before something happens. Do you all think that eurobracing the tank now would actually provide structural integrity? Or would it had to have been designed with the eurobrace in mind?

Isn’t the issue the bottom seam? Could putting it on a different stand that supports the entire tank be a better option?

I’ve seen the issues reported on bottom seams as well as side seams.

Maybe reach out to a tank builder and get their input.

Any updates?

Any updates?

I was just thinking about an update. It’s been quite the boring year. For context I went bare bottom with this build after my move. It was brutally slow and I couldn’t take it any longer. I have since then added sand. I’ve started seeing positive change and even some growth.

I can’t say if the addition of sand is what triggered growth and color change, or if it simply was time since the tank had been setup for about a year when I added sand. Either way, the sand is in and I’m happier.

I shot these next pictures about 2 months ago. There has definitely been visible growth since I shot the pictures. ALL coral are growing now. Most are changing colors. Everything is stable and on cruise control. I really believe the next few months will see this tank transform.

I’ve got a large gathering at my house this Saturday. That means I’ll do significant maintenance on Friday. I’ll make sure to get some new pics and maybe a new video. I’m super excited to see this thing starting to take off.
