My DIY canopy & Electrical system - PICS!

[corals b 4 bills]

These are a couple of pictures of my electrical system That I had constructed, there are fifty outlets, the left bank are swithed & the rest are constant. The system is split in half with two separate 20 amp. GFCI's and my chiller with it's own 20 amp breaker. I made it larger so when I build our new house it still can be used on a 1000 gallon inwall reef, The canopy is out of plywood & 3/4" pine with 3 - 250 watt MH. 10K's & 2 - 96 watt actinics with three fans that vant out to the garage,More pics in my gallery.

Cool set up. The only problem I can see is where you have it located.

Salt creep, spray will play havoc on your outlets. Unless you wipe all that stuff off every so often electricity will leak into your tank. I wouldn't put the outlets so close to your sump.

If you can you need to make a wall or move the outlets out of the sump area.

I retrofited a wetdry for my sump that way my return hose would have an enclosure, my filter sock hangs from the egg create so I don't have any splash worries, it's also very quiet. the tank that you see in the pic is my freash water top off tank.

My bad. I thought it was your sump.

Good work
