Rubber pan in my stand saves my floors today!!!!

Today I had a outage and my Sump over flowed about a 1/2 of water into the stand. Lucky when I did my build I went to Home Depot and picked up a section of rubber that is used for shower pans from the plumbing isle. I places it in the bottom of my stand before installing the sump. The sides come up about 3 inch?s up the stand making a great defense against over flows or spills.
Long story short my filter sock was over flowing and the sponge between compartments in the Sump needed a cleaning. This caused my auto too off to add extra uncalculates water into the system. Power went out and my Sump that can handle it couldn?t.

just a month ago I was doing a water change, like i'd done a million times before, but the first time with a frag tank attached...long story short, never closed the frag tank's return...25 min later, 3" plus of water at the bottom on my stand...but thank the fish gods I had the contractor install a shower pan at the bottom. contained it all.
What a lifesaver. Glad yours worked out as well!
