Not much but enough. It started getting coralline in the seam I think. It never leaked. I just figured I had better contact RS. They offered a new one so I took it. I think the actual seal was intact. It just got in the guard.

I have same tank, purchased August 2020 for new house and serial close and my seams look like yours did and they will not replace so they are not replacing so easy anymore. I am disappointed in the ragged edges of the seams but the actual seal is good like your old tank. I only used Tunze magnet and stay away from seam. I can't believe they replaced yours, I would prefer the armored seams.

I purchased a Aquarium Controller board Mounting System from Marine Depot. Kind of expensive for what it is. DIY option would of been a lot less money but it is nice. I do wish it was about a half inch wider. It was hard to stuff all the wires inside when closing it up. I cut a slot out of the side and added a rack mounted American DJ lighted, switched power strip. I found that at Guitar Center. Routed the cables on the bottom side of the cabinet with Kwik clips. Going to need another power strip and will mount that above the board. Birds nest gone!

How did you cut it out to fit the switched power strip?

Wow, Its been a while.

Got very ill for a while, better now.

AC went out last year and couldn't get it fixed for almost a week. Tank temps got to about almost 90 even with fans.

Lost most of my reef. It turned to slime, then bubble algae. Lost everything but Zoas and Mushrooms.
Everything, 40 plus corals gone. 1 Banana Chalice made it. Its finally staring to look better but still has a ways to go before ready for new additions. Got a lot of help from my LFS friend Terry.

Lost several fish in my Fowler 240. Nassau tang, Flame angel, Pink Tail and a few more.

Good to be back. I always liked this place!
