Love it!

I didn’t know about Joe when I went to research tanks originally.

Of course I would have had to have proven myself worthy to get the shirt!

Wanna see you strike a pose Frank with it on!

I have the Red Sea 350 G2+. Got it last October.

I felt they corrected the problem; and when your dealing with a large volume of sales, your going to hear more complaints.

Of course I could be wrong, but at this point I’m all in.

It’s really a beautiful system that fit perfectly with my budget needs and overall goals!
What exactly did they fix?

Jo, because it’s you, I’m going to attempt to answer this. I am superstitious though, and don’t want to come home from hospital with a burst tank - lol. Because as Dr Malcolm say’s “Life finds a way”

By the time I was actually purchasing, my understanding was that the G2 series had been corrected and the 75 gal I got was fine.

I also went with a long-time Red Sea Dealer LFS who has put 100’s of RS systems in peoples homes. The LFS itself is over 50 yrs in the business.

So I went with a lot of experience all around, and was satisfied with that.

standard tank is probably cheaper as well. Even if you can get one drilled from who ever is making them now adays. Not sure if marineland is still doing this.

IF I could, I'd have petsmart order me a 180 predrilled with overflow. They don't do that though.

So according to the ESHOPPS guy (apparently he was one of the engineers at Red Sea before ESHOPPS), the stand didn't support the front glass. They designed it so the glass just kinda hung and the doors on the stand were flush with the glass. ESHOPPS lowered the doors 1/2" and extended the top to be flush with the front of the tank.

I'm not sure if the problem was sagging but that's what he made it sound like.

It was a sagging glass issue. Thanks for putting the words in, as I don't do well with them. This is why I will never make a good team director or management position. Too many people would be diving into fires.

Saw this 120 on INDMAS site. Don’t know if it’s still available or something you might be interested in.

AFTER I leave Greenwood?!?! For the love of God Karma. Well we went to a new LFS in town and while there we were talking with the owner. Mike wants Black sand in the FOWLR, whatever you want dear ;) then on the way home he said "well if you wanted to go bigger you would have to get tslot for the stand so it would match the other stand" yes dear.......wait what? bigger? one of the stipulations was that i would break down the fw tank and use that stand. Now i can get bigger then 120 and get a fancy new stand? so now we have to look at how much were gonna need to reinforce another area of the floor in the basement.


PS Frank im gonna need to take some of that rock off your hands in a couple months :)
