    Good reminder regarding on how to rest the Red Sea tanks. My G2+ came with several pieces of wood, and I was confused at first on why it was included. Then i realized the bulk heads sticking out and not leveling with my floor. I quickly used the pieces of wood that came with the tank and rested it on top of them.
    * seeing Jake in the video from the past... hits differently. RIP Legend.

    i’m a 3rd owner of a reefer 250 v1, and the 2 previous owners were good at maintaining the tank & checking the seams. i’m coming up to year 1 of this 4 year old reefer, but always weary of its wear & tear. i project this tank won’t survive another 4 years with me. but always check those seams when you can. and if you can, replace the drain valve.

    I agree with Raj that building the tank system is the most fun part of the process. Even with re-scaping my existing tanks every 5 -8 years due to overgrowth nothing beat a complete NEW build.

Have you seen all the videos of people trying to save their animals, all the backbreaking labor scrambling to get things to survive, all the years of love & care down the drain - it is totally heartbreaking.

    I am conflicted between Waterbox infinia 230.6 and the Red sea 750 G2. Unfortunately it'll be difficult to get the Waterbox shipped where I live (Saudi Arabia) so Red sea is my only choice. Remy if you could, I know Red Sea is a sponsor of Reef Builders so it will be easy for you guys to reach out to them. Could you have the company come out to give clarifications on their tanks, the problems and their warranty agreements that they've had so that new customers like me could be assured about their products.
    I have been getting mixed opinions from people, especially in R2R there are many cases where Red Sea owners have their posts removed and their accounts blocked from the Red Sea page whenever anything related to this is mentioned instead of actually helping their customers who have spent thousands on their tanks

    This is not a negative comment. This is a reality comment. The WORST thing happened to me and an ONLY two-year-old Red Sea Reefer Peninsula 650. (Not an "older" tank as you suggest. Nothing can prepare you for a front seam blowout where 140 gallons of water gushes into your home in a matter of minutes. Thank God I was home. By the way a stock tank nearby as you suggest would have done nothing to help me. 140 gallons of saltwater went all over our nice hardwood floors seeping down through and into the AC system destroying ductwork, insulation and thousands of dollars in hardwood floors. Long story short, we were able to save some of the livestock and 1/4th of the Corals. Red Sea is in the process of replacing but with a smaller tank. They no longer make the 650 size. I'm getting a P500. I'd hoped they would have reimbursed me for the tank that I paid thousands of dollars for so I could go buy something different. But all they do is give you a credit. So here we go. Taking another big chance on a Red Sea tank.
