Tips to avoid leaks or flood in FOWLR tank

[xl2000]

Those are all great tips to consider, thanks guys.

I am not too worried about the RO water as I have a full bathroom in the basement with a bathtub where I will be making the RO water in and if the water overflows from the bucket, it won't be a big deal as the container will be sitting in the tub.

As I can see, if the design is planned well, the flood occurrence cant be very well be under control. I have read numerous thread where floods could of been avoided.
