Please do a review/ article on the massive amount of red sea tank failures for the last five years

Huh I guess I didn’t realize that. Isn’t a 170 like 34 gallons of display? 45 just seems like it would be wayyy noticeable bigger. I can understand the 200 being almost the same tho.

Thanks for pointing that out

Reefer 160:
Dimensions: 23.6“L x 19.7“W x 20.1“H
My calculations say 40.6 gallons using the outside dimensions.

Reefer 200:
Dimensions - 24"L x 21"H x 22.6"W
49.4 gallons using the outside dimensions.

SCA 45 gallon:
Dimensions: 24x20x20"
41.7 gallons using the outside dimensions.
Price = 499 including shipping

The glass cages tanks seem to use the outside dimensions and use that for telling you gallons, where SCA and RS are rounding...and RS is total system volume in liters including sump.

@nereefpat Thats right.

we are just using the simple equation

(Length X Width x Height)/231=Gallons.

simple and quick. tons of programing to do the inner dimension on our building tool. The variation of tanks built with 1/4" to 3/4" thick glass. Just trying to keep it simple.

Thanks for sharing.

Interesting. So the reefer 170 is actually underrated in what they tell you for gallons?

Also I did not get a email that you replied. Can’t figure my email settings out

Back to documenting redsea tank failures... I stumbled across this link on facebook.
Several 2 year old or close to 2 year old reefer 200 to 350G2 failing..

Mine just failed 2 days ago and 100+ gallons flooding your apt was a nightmare. I followed this thread and emailed them prior to this happening and all they said was the usual give you a discount to upgrade to a new tank and empty the tank asap.

I obviously did not take that up sale as I wanted them to replace the G1 tank as it’s a manufactured defect at this point. The cleanup was a pita and luckily i was able to save all the fish and coral for now in temporary tanks and hope they will survive until I get a new tank.

I called the LFS I got the tank from and they will help take the tank away. They suggested I call RedSea and get a replacement tank for discount but I’m done with RedSea and don’t want to give them money for a ****** tank. I’m looking at other options from wave box/innovative marine/etc.

Let me know if you guys have any suggestions on tank brands and size ranging from 90-125 gallons 4ft long only, thanks.

Definitely the IM tanks. Not interested in their 112g 3ft cube?

 

[jasony816]

The 112 cube is an interesting option because it has Eurobrace but might be too big width wise. IM has a INT and EXT which is better?

Look for my PM
It’s for a 48x20x20 that’s 109 total gallons capacity


As for INT vs EXT it’s a preference

INT takes up more room inside the display but you can put the tank a few inches closer to the wall.

Ext is much smaller in the display but the plumbing comes out the rear of the tank instead of from underneath, meaning three tank must be about 2-3” from the wall

This is the tank I sent you, it has an EXT Ghost overflow, you don’t even notice it in the display which is what I prefer.

I can measure the space needed behind the tank if you want. Looks like roughly the size of a 1” pvc pipe bulkhead
