Anybody built the new Stinkbud Flower Unit with the 27 gal Strongbox?

I followed the plans and built Stinkbuds new Areo/NFT Flowering unit out of the 27 gal Strongbox.
When I turned it on it leaked from under the lid in several places.
Anyone experience the same problem? Whats the best fix?
Thanks

I built one of these and I was lucky, I never had any leaks! Do you have your fence post placed properly above the reservoir? If moving things around a bit doesn't help, you may be able to do what I had to do in my DIY cloner. If you take your lid off the reservoir, you can attach a piece of plastic sheeting all around the inner edge of the lid. You only have to make it a few inches long, just make sure the plastic wraps all around the lid and overlaps itself a bit. I used a 4ml plastic sheet that you can get at any home improvement store and I attached it to my lid with gorilla tape. I was worried about the tape holding, but I have never had an issue with it. I had a lot of issues with leaks in my cloner until I did this, have not had an issue since. Good luck!

Also, that is an amazing system, I have had great success with it. I studied his threads for a while before I started growing. I think you will be happy with your decision of systems.

the best, most simple,cheapest, and easiest fix is rope caulk. cost about $5 and will do many res changes. it is in the window/door insulation section at lowes. i have never had a leak in any of my containers using it and i was one of the first to adapt the strongboxes to stinks rail units, he found out about them from a few of us that had started using them. here is a pic of my triple vegger and cloner is on the floor.
