I've seen the seam failures as well. Upon receiving my original RS P650 there were some quality issues with the condition of the glass. I worked with RS over 3 months to get a replacement. They sent 3 different replacements , the corners of all 3 tanks on the side with the overflow each tank had seams that were separating. It took them some time to get it corrected and RS made things right by me. In the long run they had to review their quality control and reach out to all vendors with the Peninsula series in stock to check over the tanks or send them back to RS. Right about that same time there were a few post on R2R and other forums about the Peninsula series tanks seams failing. Hopefully I'll never experience a failure. Fingers crossed my, P650 is going on 2 years with no issues.3 of them were for sure seam failures, the one I saw was a bottom back wall seam. I do not really have any pictures the one that I did see I just came to help clean up and brought beer to make him feel better oh yeah and I also brought some home mad Kahlua to get his wife drunk she was sort of freaking out it's a lot of water on the floor. The other 4 I am very good friends with a LFS owner that does a lot of tank maintenance, when I was looking at tanks he told me about these.
I hope you don't ether I have never owned a RS but, just know about some failures so I commented. The biggest failure I have ever had was a 55, and that's a big mess, water hit the ceiling lol. But my friends was a RS 750 and man it makes a big mess, I saw this one. wife crying can sort of laugh about it now. Good luck hope thing go great for you and your tankI've seen the seem failures as well. Upon receiving my original RS P650 there were some quality issues with the condition of the glass.

The 3 year warranty on the seams appears to be something new. RS quoted me 1 year on the entire tank. Seams and all.I hope you don't ether I have never owned a RS but, just know about some failures so I commented.

Home made Kahlua? Details please!!!3 of them were for sure seam failures, the one I saw was a bottom back wall seam.

I will show you the respect that you haven't shown in kind.
That being said, I can tell you that Red Sea didn't delete anything because I'm an Admin of the group. The posts that were deleted, were actually deleted by the OP himself, which is quite interesting in and of itself.
While I understand your worry, it's important to understand that the circumstances behind this particular incident are still under investigation so I suggest not worrying until you have more information.
I'd like to clarify that I don't work for Red Sea. I just love the company and their products and it hurts me when people spread false rumors in any circumstance and subject.Because he has skin in the game.
I agree wholeheartedly with you on all your points.It's one thing to be passionate about a company and its products, yet it's another to follow blindly. Product loyalty is so deeply ingrained in our everyday lives... Pepsi vs Coke, Ford vs GM. If you take a step back, you'll realize that it's all arbitrary anyway.
The root of it is that owners of RS tanks want to believe that this is an isolated incident so that they can feel good about their initial decision of purchasing their products. Because if the opposite is true then they hold themselves accountable for not doing their due diligence in the decision making process and blame themselves. Who wants to admit they were wrong?
Companies make mistakes, it happens, but it's what they do to remedy the problems that make them worthy of our business.
I have to ask too is the facegroup page run by Redsea or is it a group run by others?
I mean there are sometime dozens of pages for certain things..
I know there is a Redsea Company site and another owner group. Not sure the owners group is run actually by Redsea? It may be but may not be. It may not be Redsea deleting these is my point.
Even if it is it may not actually be them deleting the posts it could be a mod.
Honestly I would not put it past a company to do it now adays.
I agree wholeheartedly with you on all your points.
Thank goodness I've never followed anything or anyone blindly or I would have been a clone of other people.
Your last point is another reason why I respect Red Sea, as they take responsibility and are transparent about it if there's a problem with one of their products.
