Ask more specific questions regarding "incidental and consequential losses" and ask to see the language. Also, most if not all home polices have deductibles of several thousand dollars. And finally any insurance claim you make, ANY claim regardless if it is paid on or not, gets logged into a private loss data base insurance companies share amongst themselves. It is a "forever" data base that will follow you everywhere and impact future coverages and premiums.
Exact same boat I was in.... fricking sucks.. still repairing the house...Just wanted to advise other Red Sea owners out there. Last week my seal blew on my less than 2 year old tank (Peninsula 500). I acquired it when it was 6 months old and because Red Sea will only warranty the original owner, they will not repair, reimburse, or replace the tank loss of livestock or damage to my condo or unit below. This has been truly tragic and devestating, I am working with my homeowners insurance but the worst part of it all is finding other people who had this problem and RedSea not standing behind their products. Check your seals frequently. #redseareefer
Never again.
Is it an issue lately for older tanks that Red Sea was putting out and they are failing now? I've definitely heard of this happening with a lot of the original Reefer models, but has anyone seen this with the G2's?
What’s funny about this well not actually funny but sad is Red Sea reefers are pretty much 95% of all the tanks you hear about seams blowing out and or leaking!!! And yet sooooo many people want to keep buying them….Just wanted to advise other Red Sea owners out there. Last week my seal blew on my less than 2 year old tank (Peninsula 500).

Yes, and after a claim home insurance usually will cancel you and you have to shop around. Deductible are set by you, the higher the deductible, the less monthly payment, just like car insurance. I went over this specifically with my insurance and know what I had and what was covered.
It doesn't matter if you consider the water pressure will be pushing outward. I would be concerned about not adding any kind of wave make making pulsing waves the short length from back to front. No standing waves.
Mine does, and I'm sure many others. You can ALWAYS buy a rider that will.
What tank?
I’m worried about my RS 750. I had a Oceanic 300 gallon burst a seam on me before.
I use over a dozen cabinet levelers to level my reefer350 on a carpeted 90's built home floor (3/4 wafer board on tmibers vs 1 1/8" ply on timber or BCI plus I supported underneath with a 4x6 on house Jack's
My experience, mileage my vary... the 300xl (65 gallon) I got from the first owner was on a concrete floor up and running for about 2 years.. fully stocked, checked level there before we moved it. Had in my home for about 10 months before the front seam blew.. no warning or bubbles in the silicon (I replaced a very old Elos (10 plus) that was dry for 5 years because I saw bubbles spreading and tiny copepods swimming in there). Mine was on a cement floor as well.. had just checked level a couple months ago before it blew. If I ever were to go glass again in the house it would be braced top and bottom.
