I have a Red Sea MAX S-1000 G2+ that is less than 1 year old. I noticed this separation in the top left corner where the euro brace connects with the front glass. Is this something to be concerned about?

Looks like the seam failure is just at the eurobrace
May not be a catastrophic situation
However Red Sea offers a 5 year warranty so this would be included
It’s sad to see these issues - Red Sea makes some really great stuff, and their tanks look amazing.

Except they probably used the same crappy silicone on all the seams unfortunately. Crappy silicone or the surface wasn't prepped/ cleaned properly is my guess. I have a gen1 reefer 170 I just broke down because of a seam failure due to silicone separation like the OP

Did any podcasts pick this up yet? We still in the quiet zone?
Don't all listeners want to know about their red sea tank risk % or that's a no, they don't want to speak about this across a large audience and compare greater notes?
I sure think listeners do want to discuss red sea seam breaks
maybe those who don't frequent forums, but do listen to casting, could be helpfully warned to transfer out before the big split

What the podcast could help if it was willing, would be to alarm those who bought tanks in around 2019 and those with much older systems could be reasonably assured of safety
Bc that's what three years of data shows. How does total silence build trust?
Why not discuss literally the hottest topic in reefing? still no problem here right

Podcasts I've asked in comments to speak about it:
Reef therapy
Brs
Others, ahem.
I haven't asked the non funded podcasts/ guys not part of the sales machine/ because that isn't as much fun.

I think word is getting around… a few lfs I went to no longer recommend Redsea other than their small desktop offfering or other things like reefmat. Outright said they encountered delaminating silicone. Just one or two but still enough for them to want to avoid the liability + losing customers etc.What the podcast could help if it was willing, would be to alarm those who bought tanks in around 2019 and those with much older systems could be reasonably assured of safety

Yep, last year the only tanks you could see for sale at my lfs were red sea tanks. That's all changed now.
