Brand new Red Sea Reefer 170, tank only with top overflow cover. Two cracks on delivery in the overflow (pictured below).
The tank is really beautiful. Low-iron is just gorgeous. Seams are nicely done. Other than the cracks, the tank is pristine.
The cracks are fairly close to the top of the overflow, so don't structurally hold that much weight (or any really). Originally I was going to just silicon the cracks and keep the tank. Even if I did a poor job of the silicon, it would have just leaked into the overflow that has water in it anyway. Others have suggested adding a piece of acrylic over it with a thin layer of silicon.
Comes with: Tank, overflow cover, built in bulkheads for 1 return and 2 overflows. No other plumbing included. No stand included. No Sump included.
