I would mount that power strip up high on the cabinet (above the doors maybe) so it will create a drip loop for your plugs. I didn't do that and salt creep caused water to run down one of my power cords, shorted out the plug on the PS and tripped the GFI. It did this while I was on vacation and I ended up losing 95 percent of everything I had in the tank (power was off for approximately three days).

Other than tthat it looks great.

Thx its a 75 gal, and I've been just a wee bit lazy about mounting the power strip, but thanks for the advice and the reason to do it.

That's exactly what jumped out to me too. The power strip is tempting the evil powers of Murphy.

There is water in the tank in the second photo, right? Amazingly clear.

Got off my butt and mounted the strip, see it looks much better and it won't be my death waiting to happen when I add water to the sump. Yup theres water in all the pics,thx about the clarity. i went and got a new camera today as mine was 5 yrs old and on the fritz, upgraded to a whoppin 7.2 megapixel up from a 2.1, I must say pics are much better.

I think this will work a bit better now.
