Red Sea Reefer S1000

Justkeepswimming · Dec 15, 2023

I decided to treat myself to an early Xmas gift this year. If anyone is interested in watching this thing come together let me know and I’ll document the build. I am just excited about the build and thought I would share. Happy reefing and Merry Xmas to all!

Following along. I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on a similar sized Waterbox after a failed Gen 1 RS 750.

Bummer , I read all about the failed RS tanks .

This one has eurobracing top and bottom With beefed up seams and glass so hopefully I don’t have a problem. 5 year warranty is nice also.

I will start the stand build tomorrow then try to find some people to help lift the tank onto the stand.

Red sea reefers can not be trust seen a lot fail.

Well we will find out I guess.

I have always been the risk taker in life.

This tank looks promising the way they built it , a lot different then the ones that were failing but who knows.

You'll be fine as long as you don't use their stand.

What do you base this off of ?

Check all silicon between panes I have seen one in store that was not even siliconed.

DEWreefing said:

I will. What model are you referring to ?

Justkeepswimming said:

I think the stand you have is made of aluminum now, which is a major upgrade to their flimsy wood version. That wood deflection on their stand was causing a lot of their seam failures. I think RS has learned their lesson.

Yeah, I would not have purchased the older models due to what I read online.

Looks like they fixed the problem with this new Gen2 tank But only time will tell.

Stand is basically done.
Impressed with the fit and finish of this stand.
Now time to figure out how to get the tank on the stand…

Jimbo327 · Dec 16, 2023

Awesome looking tank. Hope to see your build.

Justkeepswimming · Dec 17, 2023

Tank is on!

With this thick glass and bracing I think it will be leak free hopefully!

That’s all for tonight...

If anyone has a really nice Aquascape structures that you want to sell please send me a message.

Thanks!

I have 3 Radion XR 30 and I will probably get another eventually.

Still need to hook up my Apex, Trident, Doser, and XR30 lights…
