Yes there is some water damage but it's not that bad. I did actually had an overflow drain added when I rebuilt the fish room however I didn't get around to actually connecting it up to the drain before I left. I also had salinity control ready to go as well but again didn't spend the time on it prior to leaving as I didn't really want to add such things so close to my departure. In hindsight these two things would have saved the tank and prevented damage but it's not worth thinking about now.
The damage is minor as the new tile contained most the water limiting the damage to replacing the carpet underlay in the adjacent room. The basement only being partially developed defiantly saved a significant amount of work and parts that will need to be replaced.

sucks to hear about this, but is there a possibility of setting it up with a manual float valve some how so that if the water is full and no top off is needed, it can't get to the tank? might have to use a PSI relief valve in conjunction which will relieve to a drain if the float is closed and the proflux wants to pump.

The top off will be certainly be reconfigured to prevent such failures in the future. Such things have always seemed unnecessary in the past and profilux staff has confirmed many times in the past the use of additional safety is not required.

NEW Auto Top Off Config
So I did some planning today for a new ATO system and would like some feedback.
I've added salinity control which really is just something I wanted to add anyway. I've used this saturated salt method before with success on other systems. This will allow for automatic water changes if I add later. Note some features may be disabled or modified for vacations depending on length and given circumstances.
