Review of Red Sea


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Red Sea Reefer 200 G2 MAX

Just avoid.
Purchased a Red Sea 200G2 MAX in December 2023, and have had ongoing issues with the skimmer badly performing.
This has lead to thousands of dollars of livestock loss due to lack of nutrient export.
Complete lack of support pushing Red Sea to help me out with an obvious ongoing issue (the skimmer motor does not remain consistent which has lead to overflowing and damage to other equipment)
Very happy to promote me buying the system, but failure to provide me with proof of purchase, failure to inform me of the need to register the tank with Red Sea.
Trying to say that I need to purchase alternative equipment while I wait for an indeterminate amount of time while Red Sea do testing (this will be a minimum of a week + whatever time to replace parts)
Go elsewhere.


Update: I posted a question about this on the official Red Sea Owners Group on Facebook, and my post was deleted and I was banned.
I posted a negative review on Red Sea's page and that also has been disallowed. They do not have a single review of less than 3 stars on their page, which probably tells you all you need to know
Absolutely scummy company. Avoid

Review of Merlin Cycles Ltd


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Shimano GRX800 Shifters / Brakes

Shimano GRX800 Shifters / Brakes
Happy with the product, and the speed of which it was shipped
The free international shipping was pretty cool
What I would like to see is an option to upgrade the shipping, from the cross border "tracked" to DHL (which is "free shipping" on the full groupset)
Overall yes, happy, but possibly an improvement idea :)

Review of Mariner Insurance


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Very happy Mariner experience

My first boat was a 1971 Sea Nymph (that I did a large amount of work on, including strengthening, and re-glassing. Mariner were the only company that would take the boat on without requiring assessments (Limitations of any failure of transom not covered etc). As part of this, I also had an ancient Evinrude engine (which sucked a bag over the intake, and died) - Mariner paid out on this, at a value I was happy with
A couple of minor issues with payments, but i'm not sure where those issues were coming from, which were all sorted
Overall, very happy with Mariner, and will insure with them again
