Great start to the new tank

[Twisted]

Started filling my new tank and it was leaking and I found out why

Sucks. Gotta order that from Red Sea I think.

Not going with the super glue route then?? .

 

[NanoCrazed]

NOOOOO!!!

Had that happened to me on a cadlights 45 I bought... tried super glue and welding but that was only good for a short time.

I finally got creative, use only one of the pieces and then got some random drain plug to hack something together.... one of these days, I will actually order the right part.

Plumping is the biggest problem with redsea tank. I have 2x 170 and 1x 250 reefer before and always run into pipes leak or broken parts.

I don't think you need to use Teflon tap. This probably made it more difficult to tighten down and caused it to break?

There's a rubber gasket. It was red on mines but yours looks to be black.

Damn bummer. I heard rumors their plumbing left something to be desired. That’s hella thin plastic for sure.

You would think they would run a thicker type of material considering the amount of pressure at each joint or connection.

Duct tape should fix that right up.

the bulkheads on the Red Sea Tanks are by far the worst part of the tanks.

Ive broken one before as well. I keep spares around now.

 

[Coral reefer]

That and why do the big ones not have a split return nozzle?
And why do the topoff system suck ?
I’ll leave the stands out of it since you said tank...

 

[Rostato]

I agree on all fronts except the return nozzle. In my opinion, who cares? Return isn’t for flow, so I don’t care where it goes.

I don’t like how it basically just fires straight at the front glass. Won’t matter much to me Winn no sand, but makes it annoying a lot of times

It fires to the glass and then produces bubbles that splatters all over the place. Which makes it even more annoying.

Good thing mines was modded to split!

Try getting a bigger Red Sea reefer and it will matter clears our the sand in the front and overpowers fish who swim in front

Is it possible to just run a lower flow?

You get less filtration if you do

No way, I want mine to look like a fire hydrant.

Actually, I’m fine with 3-5 turnover per hour.

There’s no conversion to be able to use a locline with it?
