    With every system there are some glitches. I just set up my Mist King this weekend and one of my T connectors is leaking and floods the tank. Don is trying to get me a new one before Thursday before I go to frog day. Thanks Don. Wouldn't it be funny if I came home and the house was flooded? Yikes!

    Cheri, can you email me a picture of the faulty connector ? Take a flash light and look inside. See if the o-ring is sitting in properly. Sometimes it can get dislodged. Send a pic to marty[at ]mistking{ dot}com

    Don, the premium nozzle will be a bit higher end, but the mist will be identical.

    I will do that when I get home tonight. Right now I have it over my clown tank which has a screen lid so it floods into that tank. It is only on one end of the T so I guess it could be an O ring. Is there a way to fix it if it is the O ring?

    I had this happen and was laying on the floor getting to watch the whole thing play out.

    Was filling an extra large garbage can for mixing up some salt water for the reef tank when while in my livingroom, my back went out and as I lay there on the floor not able to move, got to watch my kitchen fill, then the livingroom and eventually go out the open front door.

    Only took about 30 minutes to eventually get myself up and make it to the hose shutoff. Luckily it was a nice sunny day, so the carpet was taken outside by some neighbors and they gave me some help cleaning up. My dog at the time enjoyed the mini tubby we had and I was pretty relieved I didn't get to add the salt before the flooding started.
