I initially was very happy that you pointed me toward the Aqueon in the first place and was happy with not only the reduced cost of the overflow box but the hefty shipping as well.
Since I talked with my friend and he told me of all the problems and he told me that he stood there and watched the air bubble getting larger until it broke syphon and fail scared me.
He told me that he did juggle with the return pump and had minimal luck but eventual failures in each attempt.
I decided that peace of mind was worth more than the extra money.
I kind of do know what you say about not setting it up correctly and believe it to be just that. Especially since this same friend uses a CPR without any problems, and that concerns me!! But I am just very nervous about tempting fate and hearing ``I told you so``
With shipping this is now going to cost three times as much as the Aqueon of the same size, but again, I get to sleep
I wish I had more experience and wasn`t so nervous, then I could be a little richer
