For those interested in buying G2 Red Sea tanks

[SupraSaltyReefer]

Can someone please provide picture of a SN label of the failed G2 so I can bring this up to Red Sea, please?

You can send it to my email at neptuneaquatics1752@gmail.com also if you don’t want to post it here.

I need to get to the bottom of this. Thank You for your help!

Here is the results from a tracker I created. 19 responses from Red Sea customers so far. 1 is from a G2. I grayed out some sensitive information, but made the G2 serial number available for you.

Link to the survey if anyone would like to pass it along so we can collect more data: https://forms.gle/dErfZbdrnwhUrw7r6

When we moved it out of his house after the seam failed. The whole left panel was moving a good 1/8”. Lucky we have the clubs suction cups. The aquarium was a mess.

Did he mention he moved it?

Does moving it void the warranty or something? I don’t think moving it 20ft away is a valid excuse for the thing to blow out

No clue about warranty. I would say it depends how you move it

 

[Coral reefer]

What does moving it imply? Don’t think it in their warranty but he had to of sent the sn into red sea

I think improper moving techniques could be a factor in tank failure. Especially rimless tanks.

 

[Coral reefer]

Yes. He moved it. Like 20 feet. From one apt to the next. Same floor.

I’d be curious how this was done exactly. Wonder if it could be a factor

Thank You but unfortunately this is of no use to me. These data are not definitive proof the failed tanks were G2. It has to be actual labels from the tank itself.

Theres two reported G2 tank failures on this thread by two different people of which one @MarcosD was trying to get the sn number.. The dates are different from the original thread compared to the data above on that g2 so maybe different tank? Just wondering

Marcos was able to grab the actual SN label of one tank that was claimed to be G2. It wasn’t. It was a G1. He posted it this thread earlier.

 

[PjFish]

Is there a way by sn to tell if its a G2?

I think we have all seen enough Red Sea failures and enough people have been banished from the Red Sea FB group who have posted about a failure to reasonably conclude that these are absolute garbage tanks and should be avoided at all costs unless you’re looking to add an indoor saltwater wading pool to your homes esthetic

YES! Please read Page 4 of this thread.

Yeah the fact that they delete any "negative" comment - even if it's not exactly negative but references any weakness/structural integrity is very telling, they don't want to get dogpiled I guess.

I got one that’s a G2 from Reef2Reef. Forgot to post here because this thread had died down

@MarcosD is this related to the sn you have or different?

Different one. I didn’t reach out to that user

So the conspiracy is growing ! Or lack of without water!
