I said it one and I'll say it again...I think RS larger tanks you use Tslot stand with the attaching panels . we pay a premium fort these tanks we should get a premium stand.

It’s marine grade plywood..If you look closely at the picture of the 900 the side supports look as though another piece of wood is 'sistered' up beside the side pieces on either side. Also, the center support looks twice as thick as the current design's partition wall. Hard to tell from photos obviously, but that's what I noticed when scanning for changes. When its actually released next year, we'll all know for certain.
Also for what it's worth, when I first assembled my stand I questioned it's integrity with all that weight as well. I emailed Red Sea to ask how much weight it's engineered to withstand but they weren't able to provide that information. That being said, I drilled through the center partition wall on my setup and it was super-duper, extra-hard plywood. It might even be laminated or glued between each ply. When we drilled through it, the hole saw was smoking and it was quite a bit of effort. We had to drill through from either side to get all the way through. It didn't appear to be your typical plywood from the local hardware store, and was definitely a more robust wood than you'd expect.
Correct - it says that all over their website, etc.It’s marine grade plywood..
Curious - where would you think it would go - and this not a sarcastic question - I have 200 gallons sitting over wood floors and multiple thousands of art below that..I too received my brace but if I understand the instructions correctly the right brace does not go against the right side of the sump cabinet instead it goes on the right side of the equipment cabinet. I double checked because I was going to have to remount equipment either way but I don’t think it should interfere with your clarisea
Also curious - is something you added instead of the redsea sump -if so - why should they care. Note - I think this 'fix' will messes up my 'in the box' rear 750. so - I dont disagree with youI too received my brace but if I understand the instructions correctly the right brace does not go against the right side of the sump cabinet instead it goes on the right side of the equipment cabinet.

I see this thrown around all the time. In the OLD days marine ply was a thing = water resistant glue . today ALL ply has glue far superior than marine ply days. its all about the number of ply's. the more the better and = more glueCorrect - it says that all over their website, etc.
I’ll double check, but I thought it was on the sump side to help with the span. My equipment side wall is covered head to toe with Apex stuff, the other equipment wall has another energy bar, ballasts, all the power supplies, a chiller in the middle, a couple breakout boxes along the back wall. I really have every inch of cabinet covered with something. The backside of the doors are empty though! No matter what, I’ll have to move a bunch of stuff.I too received my brace but if I understand the instructions correctly the right brace does not go against the right side of the sump cabinet instead it goes on the right side of the equipment cabinet.

You are correct. That makes it a bit easier. I’ll have to move a bit of stuff around, but cords and boxes are easy. Still think we should get something more than a one year warranty extension. I could always use test kit refills, elements and salt!It confused me but after looking at the pictures I believe it goes in the far right wall. There is no picture of the cord cut out and the picture appears to be on the far end. I have already moved stuff I had Metal Halide ballasts attached to the far right equipment wall. I don't really care about moving stuff but I would have been angry with myself if I found I put the brace in the wrong place.

Sorry what I meant was - is there a reference that the 'marine ply' that they are touting - is not better than 'ply'Reference?

BTW - I have defended RedSea. I am moving my tank from a position in my living room to my basement. I do not believe in this 'fix' - it does not seem to solve the problem. It will cost thousands - and I will be discussing it with Redsea. I apologize to those on the thread that might have relied on my 'positivity' about this issue (but at the time - it did seem like a pile on). I relied on what I heard from Redsea in Email. unfortunately - I do not believe (in my situation) that the fix will 'fix' the problem
