fail

So much talk of Red Sea tanks leaking on a weekly basis on forums, Facebook groups, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc.... so I thought I'd collect some data out of curiosity. I will share the results with sensitive info removed on 12/31/2024. If you unfortunately had a Red Sea tank leak on you...

PSA to everyone, Cobalt Aquatics only cares about their own profit and doesn’t stand by their products. I had the C-VUE 40 gallon AIO tank and stand. I leveled the stand and placed a leveling mat under the aquarium to ensure no pressure points were able to stress the glass. After just over two...

Anyone else been having issues with UPS shipping recently. I’ve been having packages get delayed in transit a lot recently. I ordered from LA and the order shipped yesterday. Out of 4 packages from 3 different locations, two packages got delayed and rescheduled for delivery TOMORROW. What’s the...

Gotta love that 360° cirumgyratetion. Not even the most expensive wave makers have that.
