I have a Red Sea 425xl G2. Recently tore down and moved to a new room. Filled with fresh water recently and noticed this on the left side, bottom right corner. Is this anything to be concerned about? Tank is approximately 3.5 years old. Any feedback greatly appreciated. If it is a concern. How does one go about repairing/fixing? Idk if I’m handy enough, anyone have ballpark numbers of getting something like this repaired by someone if it is a problem?

Not the clearest pic, but I would be worried about seam failure unfortunately.

if you have the money, replace your tank NOW. Red Sea is not a good company and they unfortunately do not care about their customers. There is an 83g setup right now that you can get shipped to your house for 1700. I would act now before you have a disaster.

I’d say needs better pictures. On the surface this appears to be behind the armored seams (not considered an issue) and not the structural seam. Get a real good pic before enaging RedSea, so they don’t just vote off the island as a non-issue prematurely. I could go either way as again the picture isn’t good enough to tell if the actual seam is a problem or not IMO
