Thank you. My office is now a shared space with the fish room, so I have to keep it's neat as possible.

Looks great. Great job with the wiring.

One question: Let's say, for example, that one of your pumps breaks, how easy is it to pull that cable and fish the new one through?

The reason I ask is because the way I did the cable on my current tank was very organized and looked great. That is, until the day my skimmer pump broke and I had to cut all the zip ties to get it out and then never redid them because its too had to access now.

That was an issue I had on my last tank as well. On this one I used wire duct which has slots on the side for the wires to enter and exit the duct at any point. The cover to the duct snaps on and off so any wire can be changed in minutes. This is what I used...

The cable and hose carrier that I used for the lighting rig is a little different. To change anything on that I have to fish the wire through it, which is kind of a pain but it keeps the wires together as I slide the rig back and forth. This is the cable carrier I used....

Awesome. Makes perfect sense. Are you happy with them so far?

Or, if you had the space, would you use a bigger duct?

I'm definitely happy with them. I do wish I would have gone with a slightly larger duct. With 10 line voltage wires going to the power supplies. I don't have a ton of room to add anything. Im planning on supplementing with Fluorescent and The additional wires are going to be a tight fit.
