Also aren’t Cade and Plant Aquariums mass manufactured/cookie cutters but I know they do custom tanks too but so does Waterbox and some other larger tank manufacturers it’s all about if you want to spend the money on it.

Definitely not starting from scratch, all your livestock and bio media is still golden! Just an early upgrade!One side happy about getting new tank and bigger. On the other side, now have to go from scratch, lot of encrusting corals that I have to move. That's the pain now I am even worried
I am going to look at the progression for few days and take a call based on that.I can't tell from the pictures, but it may not be a problem. If the breach is occurring between the glass panes it is a potential problem. If it is just encroaching on the excess silicone within the inside corners, then it is not an issue. I understand the concern with it being a Red Sea, but these tanks usually fail pretty quickly when it happens since as it separates from the glass it puts more stress on the remaining silicone.
Honestly I would start pulling it now better safe than sorry.I am going to look at the progression for few days and take a call based on that.
Having repaired many tanks, This is one that Will require repair as it is not to be trusted although currently holding water. You can acquire a clear or rubbermaid tub and place all livestock in there for 48-72 hours and im happy to give you instruction of performing an easy repair in which you can restock tank in 48 hours.
Yes I would need instructions to reseal and give it free locally. But I am still doing an upgrade to Cade 1500 S2. Placed an order with Algae barn.Having repaired many tanks, This is one that Will require repair as it is not to be trusted although currently holding water.

My problem was it being available sooner. I see it will take 12 weeks and with this ticking bomb I didn't want to waitSounds like the OP has a plan, but just to close the loop on some earlier pricing stuff that was a bit misleading, I had a custom 120 done by Glass Cages less than a year ago. Low iron front panel, and custom overflow. Total cost for the tank was still under a grand.
Nice to know I may try this. Will keep posted. I got this tank in July 2020 from fish direct.I had a Gen 1 Red Sea XXL 750 that had a seem fail after about 40 months, 6 months past the 3 year warrantee. I contacted Red Sea and the replaced the tank and stand with a Gen 2 at no charge. They did ask for invoice, photos of the failure, etc - but all part of the course. I would contact them and see what they can do.
Yep that is a real concern. It takes every bit of that lead time in my experience. Good luck with your transfer!My problem was it being available sooner. I see it will take 12 weeks and with this ticking bomb I didn't want to wait
