Hi all,

i know the issue is nothing new but just to be sure.
Im a bit dissapointed from red sea. Let me tell your my story first:

-One Red Sea LED was darker than the other one.
-DC of the LED got 60 degree Celius
--> Red sea says thats ok

Now i checked my tank. I found:
-a gap between the stand and the aqaurium where i can fit 4 (!) sheets of paper in
-a bubble in the silicon
-very bad working at the bottom of the silicone (but may that is okay)
--> Sent an email to red sea and wait for response

General why i opened the thread. Can you may check if you see the bubble and the gap as an issue?
Is there an other red sea reefer 350 user with same experience. I only found this issue applicable for 750 tanks.

Thanks and kind Regards

Same happened to me. I had version 1 of peninsula 650 and 8 months in seams were separating on bottom middle panels. They sent me Version 2. It has thicker glass on sides, seam guards, and different bigger separate bulk heads. It was a very long day doing the tank swap. Lost several. Acropora. Likely due to lack of flow, light, and temperature drop because chemistry is usually spot on. Some stylos suffered minor tissue loss but have been recovering, good thing I did not have any of those 800$ acro frags the size of my pinky nail.
