i did the same thing as you with poking a hole in my return line. I poked the holes just above the water line so that when the pump shuts down it starts to suck the air in too. I am just going to buy a back flow preventer to just make sure. I should have thought of that first before poking holes but they are only like pin holes. Where did you order all your stuff from? especially the dual 250MH

I would deffinetly do this. I see the watter line on your fuge is pritty darn close to the top. Thats the last thing you want is a un-stopable syphen.
