CPR overflow & AquaFuge Refugium...

Hey guys,
If I remember correctly there seems to be a problem with CPR overflows and a potential to flood. I assume it is beacause they run off a powerhead and the siphon can break.
I just purchased a CPR AquaFuge Refugium which also runs off a power head.
Am I asking for trouble? Does anyone have any expirence with this? Suggestions?

I normally don't double post, but when it comes to a tank flooding I get a little paranoid. The more answers the better. Thanks.

I havn't heard of any problems with the aquafuge setups...The problem with the overflow boxes is minimal in my opinion.I have had my CPR overfklow running for over a year,and have had NO problems with it.I have only heard of a couple people having these startup problems.In any case,it does not apply to the aquafuge's.....

I have been reading lots of good stuff about AquFuge.
As a matter of fact, in a survey, more people vote for AquFuge Hang On Refugium over Echosystem 40 for small aquarium.
I am thinking of one issue. Since I have a CPR hang on skimmer, adding the refugium create a lot of pressure on one side of the aquarium :eek: :rolleyes: :confused:

I have my cpr overflow tubed over to a ph too. I didn't before though and was contantly keeping an eye on it an re-doing the siphon. Now that it's hooked into a ph, no problems even in power failures. When the power comes back on the ph puts instant suction on.
