The pail must be sealed. Lid and fittings should be silicones on. If not then pail will m t out

Yeah I saw this too but on 3reef.com I asked the guy about it, he said it worked great until the hose that sits below the water in the return started siphoning after topping off one day and emptied the whole buck (rather mixed it) into his system. Lol I was considering it up until then.
