    I was excited and kept adding things, it was pretty bad but surprisingly I knew what every plug was. :)

    It's a tank for my ATO, its a 5.5 gallon. I plan to add a sump in a few months, I can have two 5.5 gallon tanks side by side down there.

    With all that electrical equipment you've already invest in, I would go ahead and get a UPS(Universal Power Supply) It will work as a power strip, surge protector, and battery back up for the entire system. Also it would fit nicely in your cabinet!

    Looks good man!

    Thanks! I already have a 1600 vA Home Theater battery backup. I forgot to mention I wired in an extension cord port for my MP10. :)

    Was the mp10 worth the $ for your cube? I run a koralia 1050 (750gph) but takes up a lot of space, its an eye sore, and would love to have a wave maker. Vortech is basically all-in-one and then some
