Do a search on red sea tank failures, and another on Waterbox and IM failures.

Avoid Red Sea. Waterbox or IM are both good. Similar features, similar pricing. Look over both of them, decide if either of them has a feature that the other doesn't that you think is just too good to pass up. If not, pick whichever you think looks nicest.

I'd probably give a slight nod to IM, but you really can't go wrong with either of them.

But avoid Red Sea. Seriously, don't even consider it.

Sincerely, a former Red Sea tank owner.

Thanks i thought maybe with G3 system with the euro bracing might fix their issues

From what I've read here, seam failures begin at the bottom of the tank. So I wonder how effective eurobracing would be?

I’ve read too many Red Sea horror stories so definitely not Red Sea. Go with a Waterbox or Innovative Marine. I’m bias towards WB since my current tank is a Waterbox, albeit a nano, and have had no issues with it for the past 4 years.

It might. It also might not. They've proven themselves to not be trustworthy, and their responses to consumers who have suffered tank failures have demonstrated a distinct lack of care for their customers. Until those G3 systems have been out in the wild for years without experiencing the same thing, I personally would not trust Red Sea to sell me a fish bowl.
