Setting up Red Sea Reefer - is this ok/safe?

[Vitaly S]

Hey all,

I've just put RS Reefer 250 on the stand I've assembled and front glass seems not be be resting on stand when back is flush with the stand. Also it seems there is small space between bottom of the tank and the stand - about credit card thickness. Aquarium is empty at this time. Is this safe/ok, will the space settle in once water and everything is in the tank?

I've attached images, first one shows the front glass and second one shows the space between stand and tank.

Thanks for your help.

I would move it back a bit the main and back glass before the silicone is the one "floating" after the silicone should be on stand.

Unfortunately stand is not wide/deep enough for both back and front to rest upon the surface. Not sure if this how it supposed to be or if something wrong with the tank/stand.

No worries, I have the same tank, stand is fine. in my opinion move it back half inch.

I have the front panel flush with the front door when closed. Have a little overhang on the back (less than 1/4 of an inch).

Mine has the same gap (when filled). I spoke to Red Sea, they said it was fine.

Thank you all, I've also spoken with BRS staff and they confirmed, front glass on their RS Reefer series kind of "hangs" over the edge of the stand.
