Reverse syphon?
My cousin mentioned that I should buy a piece for my return line, so if the power cuts out I won't get a huge mess on my floor. Do any of you use something to prevent the reverse syphon?

check valve or put a weep hole below the water surface in the tank in the syphon and if the power goes out the syphon will break when the level drops below the weep hole - - -just becareful, if the evaporation drops the level below it the syphon will break as well

Thanks Boss, I think it already has a weep hole in my overflow kit. I just set up my new tank and I'm doing my first water change later this afternoon. I'll shut the power off and see what happens. I'll try to post some pics later today
