seam

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...

Hi, I am comparing the Nuvo 40 long and the 50 lagoon and cannot decide. I read one bad review regarding the Nuvo 50’s build quality and was wondering if this is something to be concerned about? I’m mostly worried about the quality of the seams and water leaks, not so much the pump failing. I...

I'm a newb. The long story is posted here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/a-beginners-story-dilemma-and-question-cry-for-help-bought-a-beautiful-260g-that-was-full-now-has-leak-after-professional-move-what-do-i-do.1005503/ That link above is the story of my finding a great working 260g tank...

I recently purchased a Innovative Marine 20 Fusion Pro but right before I started setting it up, I noticed these bubbles in the seam. Should I consider resealing? The bubble is about 2 inches in height and about a 1/4 of an inch wide. I plan on having the tank set up long term. Any advice will...

A little over 3 year old Reefer 250 front seam about to fail. we noticed a few days before Christmas that sand was seeping into the front seam, honestly ignored it for a few days. it rapidly got worse with more and more sand pouring into the seam, did some searching in this forum and was...

https://techenclave.com/threads/my-diy-aquarium-build-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-anoxic-filtration.202272/ I used 3mm tile spacers, pinched the nozzle and injected silicon in between the glass panes. All 3 tanks, 3 sumps done the same way. Neat and almost zero bubbles. No leak test needed as...

Not sure if [EMERGENCY] is right, but I hope not so I'll leave it off... I have a several years old AGE tank with half inch low-iron glass. Today while doing some cleaning, I noticed this seam, and how far back the silicone has receded due to algae and whatever else it encounters in the tank...

hi! i recently got a 30 gallon tank. While i was leak testing it, i noticed a leak, so i am now going to drain remove the current outer layer of silicone and re seal it from the inside. i did noticed the cause of the leak was a big bubble in the seam. can this cause issues in the fueture or...

So, it is bound to happen to all of us, eventually, if you have an old tank in operation. This happened on my old LeeMars 125 gallon that I have had for many many years. Acquired new bout 20 years ago or so to be sort of exact. This happened the day after I returned from a 10-day absence while...

So far, no water has leaked out. Red Sea has given me a new tank in exchange, but I would still like to think I can keep this one running. Is it okay to squirt silicone into the seam – while inside the water? Will that kill the corals or fish? If I should do something else, what would you...
