    Keeping my fingers crossed hoping you don't end up without power again. Hope you kept your hardware handy. ;)

    Thanks guys, evidently more storms to come, but about had my heart broken and poo'd my pants at the same time today, my GF called saying water from the tank was every where, under the couch, all over the rug, yada yada. So i called someone in, and rushed home, fearing the worst. Got home and saw the damage! Holy cow, 1 wet towel on the floor. My dumb self had forgotten to put thread tape on a junction and it had slowly dripped about a gallon of water just 1 millimeter past my fuge. So about 2.7 minutes later, 24"s of thread tape, all was well, and I was back at work.;) or;( But thankfully, my GF's oncoming heart attack was averted by my super fast response, to a 1 drop per 30 second leak that evidently, although explained to watch for the prior day, was not as thoroughly explained as it obviously needed to be.

    The only other problem I have is the constant flushing sound from the overflow, thinking i need to go back to the old version and mod it a bit.

    Thanks guys, hopefully I won't need that Chris, but gonna get one just in case, pretty sure problem is solved, no more leaking!

    And I put the other pvc tube on the overflow and its super quite now. Its kinda weird, this one was louder without the canopy, but quieter with the canopy, and vice versa, its like the canopy amplified the other one. Oh well, problem solved;)
