Red sea seam failure preparedness

[reneeL]

We have clamps and it worked. Now we are trying to decide on an extra tank .... not a lot of quality out there. We have a 40 gallon and 20 gallon tank that are up for the extra little stuff but I figure another 40 gallon will do it. Not real sure about a new tank. They all seem to leak. The 40 is one of the last Top fin and the other is a Aquion.

IM tanks are quality and you rarely if ever hear about issues.

I’ll just backup the suggestions to make the switch now. No point in waiting for the failure. You’ll then be adding major damage to your house at that point.

Plus you get to rip clean it (100% blasted clean rocks and sand for the new tank as you make the move over: skips the new cycle and removes all waste and invasion areas if any)

which extends the life of the reef tremendously

Notice didn't say you had to rip clean... as if it's some stressful thing... you *get* to rip clean meaning when you either rinse out or replace the filthy sandbed your new reef is going to shine and pop for months being waste free, you can feed it all better than you do now since all the spaces will be so clean. Biologically the tank transfer is an upgrade, a refreshment, a boost, a help.

I'm partially joking, but also maybe serious.
