Can you get Innovative Marine over there? Or Tenecor?
Tenecor I don’t believe we can, IM I think we can but it’s a pain to get.

This is my main fear when I upgrade to a redsea is the seam failure, such a shame to hear yours burst.
Don't do it. Had I known about the RS seam failures back when I bought mine I NEVER would have wasted my money on their garbage. Constantly watching your seams and knowing in the back of your head the tank could fail will keep you from enjoying it, trust me.

My hope is the tank I’m going for is less risky with the seams as they have the bracing and protection of the silicone.

Honestly, I’ve tried this but there isn’t any way to manage it so it’s a game of hope and pray with me unfortunately.

It would’ve been Cade if the doorframes could come out.

+1 For Cade aquariums great build quality. Plus doesn’t have the reputation that Red Sea has.

Here's the 75g. The foxface, angel, black leopard, brunneus fairy, and neoguinaicus survived. I did have some coral losses and lost my NPS gorgs, but overall things seem to be bouncing back.

Thank you! Now that he's the only fairy wrasse he flashes and struts his stuff (at nothing) all evening long lol
I'd like to get another species of fairy wrasse but he seems to enjoy being the only one.

So I still don't have a filter of any type on the 75g I've just been doing water changes since it's so easy to do on it, but it has me thinking could I run this tank long term with just water changes? :thinking-face: I've never ran a tank without a filter or skimmer before.

Sounds like a plan! Probably the best filtration if you can continue it. I’m not going to look down on you at least…

Been a while. The 75 is still going strong, no updates, still zero filtration other than water changes. The 3 wrasses ( black leopard, china, and brunneus), fox face, and angel that made it through the tank failure are still thriving. I’ll dust off the camera and get some updated pics posted soon.

Going to add a couple more to the mix or just stick to what you have?

Hi!
You might remember me from that thread titled “There’s something fishy about this build….” where I am The Boss Polo.

Sorry this thread is already TLDR, except the first line that says you front seam failed [zippers are good like that ; ) ] and I thought - how crazy because it was my reemergence from when my tank took a nose dive after moving.

Names Becca - The boss - polo

Nice to meet you!
