I am getting my 20 gallon ready for a water test today and was wondering if my lower powerstrip is to close to the sump? I really didnt think about it till i got them mounted and i started to think about moisture problems.The lower one will be about 10 inches from the actual water heres a pic.

I went ahead and moved the lower powerstrip i figured the timer would start having troubles that close to the water. The power strips i have you can close off the plugin that your not using so that should cut down on moisture exposure. Here is a pic of where i moved it too i would put them on the back side but if i did that i would not be able to access the after i filled the tank.

In my past tanks i had them laying on the floor behind the tank.
I never thought about what would happen if my tank flooded and the water would get in the powerstrip and start a fire. Thats why in this setup i put them in the stand up high. I think it should work out pretty well. I hope to have it running and cycling by saturday afternoon.
thanks
