From everything I am reading here, seems like the best path forward is Check your Home Owners/renters insurance Ensure you know what you are doing when cleaning the filter I also like the idea of putting the cannister itself in a larger bucket to help contain any small leaks while on the learning curve.

Was planning on getting it from Big Als. It is a 46 Gallon Bowfront. Was planning on making this a community tank and seeing how it all comes together.

Anyone use this device called Aquastop with any success? Is that something that might be a solution?

Hi there, have a Noob question, Is there a risk of leakage from the Cannister filter? I am planning on putting the aquarium on an upper level of the house and shudder to think of the consequenses of a leaking filter, I would imagine it would destroy the sub floor completely. Is this a valid concern? Anything I can do to mitigate the risk? Thanks

Thanks guys, I have been reading some of the postings and it is truly a wealth of local expertise. I have not set the tank up as yet. It is on order at the moment and hope to have it next week.

Can someone advice where I can buy a more solid aquarium stand? I plan on running a 46 gallon tank, are the ones in the regular pet store goo denough, they seem a little flimsy for me given the weight they will need to carry. Any advice will be apreciated. NoooB

So happy I found this place, planning on setting up an aquarium soon and am soo looking forward to it. Cheers
