If I had known the issues with Red Sea tanks- not sure if I would have gone with them or not., I had spoken with A/C owners -with the G1 tanks -def issue. The new generation -they said they could only recall 2 tanks that busted..
As for equipment I have:
Red Sea lights- so far they work. Sometimes on the app it says partial connectivity but they operate accordingly to the settings. I like the shimmer.
Rollermat-has worked like a beast. I incidentally burnt the motor out by forcing to move a few inch a day as I was out of town.. they replaced it without charge.
Dosers -I have 3. I like them much better than the DOS in respects to calibration (only 8 total ml used) -4 to calibrate and 4 to check that calibration. The only one I had some issues with was the one in my mini fridge..which after unplugging and plugging back in it was fine. I also like that you can’t accidentally turn it on. You need to specify a dose and then confirm again.
Downside is limited to 1000 ml a day-not good for AWC or kalk.
ATO -the sensors have busted about once a year. Last time it went -it told me it had failed and there was a link for a replacement free of charge. Came in a week.
My Neptune optic sensors on the ATO would also go once a year and sometimes it would be challenging to detect it when it just stayed open.. the FMM also went nuts on me. I was not happy with it. Tuner didn’t have any web based and would constantly make loud noises.
Reef AB plus- didn’t seem to do much that I could tell.
Nopox-too expensive for what it it is.
Their 4 part system is way too expensive compared to AFR and other trace elements.
I hope this tank holds the line -but if it does go -then AC can get the same tank within 2 days (now out of warranty) -so then heaven forbid get everything into brutes get the old tank off the stand and swap..
One of the reasons I won’t go with custom -replacement in a timely manner if the company is still around.
I believe AC may also start carrying waterbox -but I don’t know what the consensus is on that company. Something to think about in the future but not today..
