My answer for the flipcap problem.

I've used the flip caps for years with zero issues. I like them.

Only problem I've run into is sometimes you can't flip the flippy thing down because the pivot points don't line up with the divots in the tank. If I remove the cap again and try it again, I can usually get things to line up on the second try, though I'm not sure what I do differently the second time, and never cared enough to puzzle it out.

Yeah but how many times a day are you opening & closing them? They work wonderfully until they don't.

I have used them for years, and I usually get them to work. But overall, I would have been happier with the simpler, screw caps. Simpler is usually better.

I did just have to replace on one my ms200T's.

I was happy with the old style screw caps, too.
