Re: [GSAS-Member] Going Canister?

[Bryan Nichols <b_monius_funk@yahoo.com>]

Well I certainly have heard rumors of flooding from external filters but I have 
never actually seen or read of it happening to a specific individual. That 
being said, I don't think it happens very often, and if it does happen then 
there is probably some user error involved. 

Looking at my Filstar, it would be really hard to make it leak and flood my 
house. there just isn't an easy way to break it and make it leak.

Just think about this: If these things were that cheap and breaking all the 
time people would be filing lawsuits against the manufacturers.

having boxes of water increases the chance of spilled water.  Adding plumbing 
extending outside the tank even more so.

Several of my tanks are internal sumps (mattenfilter) style.
