Red Sea Reefer 525xl side panel flex

[Jonesyg]

Hi,

Has anyone had issues with the 525 xl cabinet sides bending outwards? It is square at the top and bottom and then bulges out on both sides by around 1.2mm. I have contacted Red Sea with no response as yet. The tank and cabinet was brand new and built by me. Tank is perfectly level, no visible gaps in the cabinet elsewhere. I would appreciate if anyother 525 owners could check their side panels as reference.

Cheers
Greg

I would guess that the panels are just warped a bit. It's not like they make them from quality lumber.

Maybe yes, Im hoping they replace the cabinet as it doesn't inspire confidence with 400kg plus of water being held up by it..
