Red Sea G2 seam fail

[Sidders89]

Well it’s looks as if the Red Sea G2’s suffer the same problem as the G1’s. My G2 which was replaced under warranty 2 years ago has now failed on the front seam again. A replacement tank only is being sent under warranty but no stand as they said that would be fine. A

las I can’t bring myself to swap it all over again so my reefing journey is over. 2 tanks in 4 years is just terrible from such a big company. Good luck to all those who have Red Sea tanks

That sucks man. I can't understand how anybody buys their tanks anymore.

what kind of silicon are they using? must be the cheapest c*** possible, I live in Brazil and the market is basically customs and made by some people that can barely read most of the time, we never hear of tanks leaking, much less seams failling like that.
To be honest a long time ago I remember the firsts red sea, AIO was the ones that leaked....

Hey! Do you mind uploading a pic of the Serial Number label? Or Pm me? We’re discussing Gen 2 seam fails in a local club with an LFS owner who has contact with a Red Sea rep. Apparently the Red Sea rep says there is no documented seam fails for G2 tanks, which I know isn’t true due to all the posts I’ve seen.

Don't know if it's possible, but are you able to place a long level or something flat that does not deflect along the underside? Just interested if there is any deflection in the top board with the full tank on it. Does the level lay completely flat in all directions, no gaps or wobble.
