How old is the tank? Was it bought locally through one of our LFS by the previous owner? I would definitely exhaust options before buying another. Who knows Red Sea might help you out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodstock Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 Anyone know the original owner? I lost his number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodstock Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 @CuttleFishandCoral unfortunately the previous owner removed the serial number sticker/logo from the inside as there is nothing on the tank marking it as a redsea besides the logo on the stand so without that number Red Sea said they wouldn’t do anything because they couldn’t even look it up😭 It came with a Vectra M1 too which failed within the week and I had to have Ecotech send me a new one. Just a crappy deal all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodstock Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 He has no receipt or any info on the tank pretty much just SOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce00 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Bummer deal, I have this same tank 2+ years. I haven’t heard of these tanks failing yet in compared to the large redsea tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubaethan Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I looked at buying this/similar used tanks but the resealing makes me really nervous too. Now I'm wondering if I should buy new. Following along to see what you end up doing and learning from you. I'm sorry its a crappy deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
