Redsea reefer 900

Would it fit in the bed of my jeep gladiator for transport 2 hours away?

Have you bought it yet?

 

[get-salty]

Are you buying it new or preowned?
If new, do they carry any other brand aquariums?

I'd consider looking at other options.. just my 2ct

It’s been resealed it’s used newly resealed

Have you tried looking up the dimensions of it and then measuring the back of your jeep gladiator?

Negative unless you want to drive with the tailgate down. Even then, and it will support the whole tank, the fact that its not exactly in a fixed surface = bad times to me.

rent an appropriate sized uhual for the trip

It would technically fit by ~2” with the tailgate down, but I doubt you’ll have remaining space for sump/stand…

Also, the plumbing passes through the bottom glass on these tanks in such a way that the tank needs to be on a platform with a hole (or ~3” of lumber stacked everywhere but the rear-center of the footprint) to prevent half the tank from being supported by plumbing holes in glass when you set it down…

— Then we get into the real issue, these tanks are notorious for literally splitting at their seams, which is almost certainly the sellers primary motivation behind getting rid of it! (This said, a cosmetic interior silicone “reseal” isn’t going to do anything for this tank’s structural integrity… it needs to be fully rebuilt from glass panes!)

Complete disassembly, remove of all old silicone and reassemble with quality silicone is the only acceptable fix. Anything else is like putting a bandaid on a bleading artery.

Don't do it, keep an eye out for a better tank
