| Please folks dont forgot the obvious, water and electricity dont mix!! if your playing with any electical device near the tank UNPLUG IT!! make sure your lights are well mounted and secure! make sure endcaps are seated firmly and cords are not subject to snagging. drip curves in power cords to all any water that may get on the cord to drip off and not run directly to the plug. and its helpfull to label cords with masking tape as to what it operates so you can easily unplug.

i say this as my best advice to a beginner. do not,,,and i repeat,,,,,DO NOT look at my tank as an example....i have a well practised eye, decades of experience, and a trunkload of failures to allow me to force the issue and get away with things most cannot~ Quote:
