What's up with the recent Red Sea Tank failures? 750XXL ? *UPDATE* Design Flaw CONFIRMED by Red Sea !!!

[SpyC]

I'm just going to end my comments here - by saying 1. reds has always answered quickly - and positively to any questions/concerns with my tank. 2). there are thousands of tanks out there from RedSea without any problems. I'm sorry to hear about the issues this poster has. 3). It's my understanding that this is not the forum for these types of complaints.

You mean the reef aquarium discussion forum isn't the right place to discuss a general reefing issue? This thread has been active for a while now. If you have an issue report it to the admins instead of telling everyone they are discussing an issue or situation incorrectly.

Why are you white knighting for Red Sea in every post of someone whose out of thousands upon thousands of dollars because Red Sea messed up?

This makes me nervous with my Red Sea tank, it’s not massive but I don’t fancy 300 litres of water on my living room floor, never mind the loss of livestock..

If not on a forum of avid hobbyists and potential buyers, then where might this conversation be more appropriate? We know the RS FB forum is not the answer.

There is a vendor feedback forum on R2R - whereby the complaint and the answer are discussed - without the benefit of 100 people agreeing - and 100 people disagreeing. I think its the policy of the site

I didn't say who was right or wrong - I.e. - Redsea or the poster... It's not my job - I merely stated that the post is probably best in the VENDOR FEEDBACK FORUM.

I think we all knew the risk we were taking when we bought Red Sea beforehand and took them if you didn't do any research beforehand you can't be helped haha

It’s all about the Benjamin’s baby. Can’t have the inmates biting the the hands that feed. Lol

By the way - I'm not white-knighting anything. BTW - as far as I know - no one in the recent discussion is out a penny.

And RS is not on this forum to reply to anything. This is a discussion about tanks and possible issues. Report the posts and move on.

A little late... this started 2019 and seems to have been fine with the mods for going on 4 years. Worse yet Redsea is still blowing chunks and providing some half baked solutions with people still commenting on the ongoing issues.

Here's my reef builders article request, awaiting thread approval

Let's get it straight - I don't work for RedSea - nor R2R. The comment related to the poster recently - who had a problem - I suggested it was best for the Vendor feedback forum. That To my interpretation is according to the TOS of the site. This person is not commenting on an 'ongoing issue'. In fact - the issue was *supposedly* fixed with an upgrade which was provided free of charge from RedSea. This persons issue is NEW - on a tank which has not yet been reported that I have seen. Which is why I suggested it be reported - along with his drip video - on the appropriate forum. No more no less. And BTW - I agree with your sentiment - the enforcement of the TOS within the vendor forum is spotty. I was trying to help the person that reported his/her problem. I don't / didn't want to get into a pseudo-debate with REDSEA owners or REDSEA detractors. Best Wishes - hope this helps explain - since I must not have been clear earlier.

Has Reef Builders ever previously used the platform to hold companies accountable?

your tank is a goldfish bowl? Right? Where is the massive number you're talking about? Why is the company still in business?

Why are you talking about reef builders?

 

[brandon429]

No, and I don’t think it’s likely they will/ $. I merely want them to review a developing trend in reefing. Nobody should convict red sea, maybe every single one of these owners is guilty of bad reef tank stand usage


but the trend is here, they should at least talk about its validity or non validity

if they do agree to at least mention this record number of split seams that will be very good and fair for the hobby. mention the breaks somehow, alert buyers. Let the readers determine who's at fault, but if people aren’t reading rtr they’re not knowing about the trend at all. That’s not fair for buyers in the market


readers at least should know you better get a Fort Knox quality stand or very very good insurance

apartment owners who live updates should immediately opt out of owning anything above a Red Sea nano tank, for obvious % risk reasons

Why do you interject yourself into conversations you don't really even seem to care about?

If you are following the thread you would see why I mentioned Reef Builders.

I think RS is a big sponsor for them too. Wouldn't expect them to bite the hand that feeds them.

My guess is they want these thread closed and by causing chaos and showing they bring no good to the members the threads will be closed. Or they really want to be a mod and are trying to get current mods to notice their efforts.
