Damn!!!, so sorry to hear that!!! :( Hope everything recovers (fish and floor!).

I'm about to set up 2 FX5s, so thanks a ton for the warning. At the risk of sounding like an ingrate, can you post some pics of the problem you encountered (exactly where and what happended) and your recommended solution (zip-ties)? I'm not a DYI guy, so I need all of the help I can get when it comes this stuff!! :)

Thanks again. GBG :thumbsup:

That's a great idea. Here are a couple of illustrations to show what happened and the fix I implemented. I hope this keeps everyone else from having this happen to them. I got lucky in the fact I have a hatchery building. Everything drained to a sealed concrete floor and into a 6" floor drain to a flood pit at the back of the property. I'd hate to think of what 600 gals of fishwater would be like on carpet or wood floors.
