    Ive had my Reef Octo bh 1000 for 2 months now and the only time it has started to overflow was when I was doing invasive stuff in the tank and whatever was on my arm or hand made it start to wack out. But because it was when I was doing that, I was able to dial it down and readjust it. For the first couple of weeks I was def nervous about the same thing as you, but there's no need to worry. It in my opinion is a mint unit and you really cant go wrong for the price either.
