Under tank Spaghetti nightmare!!!!

Does your sump and associated parts look like this or is it just me ???

 

Not that bad. You could clean that up a bunch by just wire tying the power cords up and out of the way.

 

mine used to look like that but i put some zip ties and tape on everything, looks better now

 

behind my tank is what i refer to as organized chaos and i honestly dint know if it could be organized. the space between end of tank and the wall is not that big so it makes it fun to try to manipulate things back there. that said i am a neat freak so i am just glad that i cannot see it.

 

Mine started off this way but as otty said some zip ties and routing the cables nicelly will keep everything out of the way.

 

and rememebr to label the outlets so you know whats what..... and I have no empty outlets .....lucky you !!!

 

Good advice, this weekend I will label everything and install some GFI outlets !!!

 

I have my surge protector mounted to the side wall of the stand (inside) so that if there are ever any leaks nothing gets onto the plugs. Everything is ziptied to follow the joints underneath. Now I have to paint/cover the back of the tank with SOMETHING so that I don't see the cords through the DT

 

I used some cardboard at work and bought a qt. of ocean like color [blue]and painted the cardboard then velcro cardboard to back of tank !!! pic 009

 

Good idea!!! Thank you for that
