seam failure. from bubbles to leak how long?

[Devaji]

SOOOO I have RS 650P v1 less that two years old, that I noticed some bubbles in the seams 2 days ago.
yes tank is level and center brace in installed.

I am not panicking as of now. I have a support ticket in with red sea. BUT i want to have a back up plan in place.

but in the mean time i was hoping i could get some feedback on the amount of time from bubbles to leaking. ~ball park
hopefully RS tanks care of me I have bought the 750 & 650P and funny engough I was shopiing for a another tank from them, so fingers crossed.


here are some pics as you can see I dont scrape the bottom 1" just trying to avoid this issue.

my thoughts too.
that said it sucks so bad this aquarium has been 3 years in the making so disappointing.
I am curious what RS is going to say.

i'll keep everyone posted.

thanks me too.


on a side note anyone have any news if RS will do the new G2 peninsula's?

I heard back from RS this AM. they requested a few more pics of the tank along with the stand, replayed around noon but no word back. so nothing until Monday.

i'll keep an eye on it. I am pretty sure it will make it but not gonna lie it's starting to make me nervous. so now hurry up and wait to see what my options are.

As someone who was working with a customer that had the same exact issue, they offered to replace the whole tank. He declined since he had the tank craned into his 7th story brownstone and he didn't want to do it again, but at least they offered.
