Red Sea Reefer Tank Seal Failure

[OfficeReefer]

I personally have not had an issue with their tanks. I have had several, including used ones. The last used one was an E260 that I thought was a good deal until it was delivered to my house. It ended up having scratches all on it and I just gave it away out of annoyance. To date, the only leaks I have had were related to seals and pipes or my own error underneath.
If I recall, RS produces products in an ISO compliant facility. If there's a concern, go at it from that angle. Companies dislike auditors and that data should be available to anyone that has a reason to request it, including vendors.

Here is my Red Sea 425 xl tank leaking also. Red Sea knows this is an issue but not willing to help.

I'm so sorry but thank you for posting, we need every instance of this logged to force action via public demand, hopefully eventually. I will also repost this on Humblefish's forum where a similar thread exists to track breaks.

I suspect that their action to remedy the problem is just to push the (yet to fail) G2 models and offer paltry discounts for existing customers to replace with another RS product.
They'll weather the storm and in a few years this will all be forgotten by the new customer base.
Regardless of these failures you still see lots of new RS tanks...

My condolences! I've had a Peninsula 500 since November 2019 and it's tight! But it's always shocking when you see pictures like this.Wish you a happy holiday, greetings from Switzerland

I just searched Red Sea leaking on YouTube . There should be a class action lawsuit this is ridiculous.

Another reminder why I switched to 3/4” acrylic

But the g2s are also failing. There some in this thread.

Where?

When you look at the tanks they look pretty solid. The silicone and glass are super thick so it's crazy to me why they leak. My issue with them is the crappy diaphragm valve

Yeah, I don't believe we have seen many G2s and after leaking.... Most are older tanks that have been moved multiple times. Or used it seems.

I thought this was the larger thread. There is a second thread with numerous posts for red sea tank failures. Some of which are the g2s.

After talking with the BRS team. They are now for the last 4 months or so on the 3 variation of the reefer.
So first there was the
Red Sea reefer gen 1
Then the
Red Sea reefer g2
And now as of 4 months ago
Red Sea reefer g2 +

G2+ is just the added ATO

There is no difference in build quality between the g2 and the g2+. You just get some equipment with the g2+.

I just had the same issue with a Red Sea 425XL and it leaked 100 gallons of fish water into my Home Theater.
