That's a very nice setup Yak:) I really like the idea you used with outlets mounted inside with a wall switch... I may just have to steal it for my 200 stand:D

I'm using the switch like a main breaker for the group. It's all on a dedicated 20 amp line from the main panel in the basement. The top row of outlets is x-10 controlled, which I like more and more every day. I used to unplug things to turn them off, now I just use a remote control and I can always adjust timers via the laptop.

Did you use acrylic or glass for your baffles in the sump?

It's 1/4" acrylic. I figured since it's not really handling any pressure, the silicone should hold. I was quite liberal with it.

The wood is 3/4" Birch Plywood with mahogany stain, but the trim is real mahogany. The doors will also be solid mahogany, once my shop is up and running in the new house.

From one site:
X10 is a communications "language" that allows compatible products to talk to each other using the existing electrical wiring in the home. Most X10 compatible products are very affordable and the fact that they talk over existing wires in your home means that no costly rewiring is necessary. Installation is simple, a transmitter plugs (or wires) in at one location in the home and sends its control signal (on, off, dim, bright, etc.) to a receiver which plugs (or wires) into another location in the home.
There is software that comes with a package that is sold. In the software you can create timers and macros and then upload the information to a controller that is plugged in somewhere in your home. There is a remote control that sends RF signals to the control unit, which in turn sends a signal to the receiver that you want to turn on or off.
It comes in pretty handy. Neptune controllers also take advantage of X10. So, if in the future, I get a Neptune controller, I can still use all of my controls.
