just wondering about somthing

[lordofthereef]

I have a 35 gallon rubbermaid sump on my 40 gallon breeder tank, and it is 3/4 the way full of water. it seems to bulge a little and I wondered if they could ever split or explode.
should I be worried about this or is it normal for that too happen?? thanks!

Its normal nothing to worry about

fwiw I had one spring a leak. i had 3 others never so its still possible. A cheap fis is to buy another and double it

You cn strap a bungy sp? cord on it to prevent the bowing. I had a rubbermade for a sup and it either had a really small leak cause I could never find it, or it perspired, either way there was always water around the bottom, worked great for about 3 months, I got one of the really thick ones for my top off and I havent had a single problem with it, no bowing and I doubt it will spring a leak, knock on wood . Doubling up a good idea. HTH

thanks for all the info people!! I think i'll try the bungy cord since i'm lazy and don't want to drain it and all that mess!! by the way,tk2020, i grow xenia and anthellia in my parents basement.
