Honestly the quality in general of everything is so much better.
There was one piece of the stand that had a ding in it, that was clearly from a forklift. I’m glad I went with the black stand, it is very nice looking.
I’ll get some pics up in the next few days when I get everything out together.

Dude, just found and read your whole thread, it gave me chills and brought back memories of a similar nightmarish experience I had ordering a custom tank from Cadlights 5 years ago.

I was between a Waterbox 7226 or a Redsea 650P last year and decided to go with Redsea because of their track record. Boy am I glad I went with Redsea after reading up on this and a few other threads out there.

My Redsea 650P has been up and running going on 6 months now and I love it. Sorry for you going through all that, I know exactly how it feels. On the other hand I am sure you will love the Redsea peninsula, I know I have

Following your thread now. Here's a pic of mine, hope you don't mind

That is gorgeous!! Lets see the sump area!

Man it has been a complete crap shoot. I should have just went with my gut and got the Red Sea like I originally planned. There is so much that I didn't even post about too.

One more light coming soon.

Just waiting on a replacement piece of the cabinet that was damaged in shipping to complete the cabinet build.

Sump is currently being leak tested.

You just haven’t had luck with your orders. I hope that you get some relief soon!

Dang, that's a heck of a tale. Glad to see a tank finally showed up, even with some wear and tear. I'm going to be right behind you, my 650P is going to be delivered next week I believe (should ship tomorrow). Fingers crossed it comes in solid. Threads like yours (many, many threads like yours) are why I ended up going with Red Sea right from the get go. The Waterbox looked tempting but man... so many threads of issues.

It’s hit or miss because my WB peninsula 5526 came in great condition.

Thanks Nick. I sure hope all the bad luck is over....I just hope to to heck this tank doesn’t leak

Yeah it’s too bad,cause the tanks do look great. The stands are over engineered and have viewing from both sides which is really nice but good lord did I get crapped on over and over, even in the end they screwed me on the refund. So happy it’s over though.

Exactly, I’m just glad yours worked out for you.

 

[Adalius]

Yea, it's not that they can't be good, its that there's so many who had issues. Do you want to buy an amazing tank that comes in with issues 50% of the time, or an *almost* as good tank that comes in with issues 10% of the time.

I think I came across 1-2 threads (on here and other sites, or in reviews on sites that sell them) about issues with 650P's on delivery but maybe 25-30 Waterbox ones.

 

[jbarn1225]

I like my peninsula 650, I think you'll be happy with your choice once it's all set up.

They screwed your on your refund??? What happened? That’s insane wow.

 

[LBCobra]

Wow just finished reading your thread. That’s insane... I almost went with the waterbox too but didn’t really like their sump setup.

What happened with the stand?

 

[Brock0019]

A little frosty from being outside in the garage in the negative degree weather..So she will acclimate to temperature until tomorrow just to be safe.

Then I’ll do a half fill and hope for no leaks.

What happened with the stand?

a piece was damaged in shipping. Customer service was excellent and sent it out right away.
