While I’m confident that my canister filters are pretty well sealed for my Aquariums, it’s always nice to have peace of mind. I placed the filters in Lowes buckets to try and catch any leaks as they happen but I realized that the area for that water was not enough if the tank gravity fed out the water. I added Insteon Leak Sensors and some sensor wire extensions to monitor the buckets. This way I can get an email that my house is about to be flooded.
