    Great advice. Everyone in this hobby should create drip loops. If you don't, you're asking for big big trouble.

    mine is pretty close to what you have :p and yes i label all of my cords so i know which one is which incase i need to unplug one or if im out of town and need to tell someone to unplug something that can just read the label. i'm also a big fan of the zip ties as they keep everything nice and tidy. i also have a big piece of acrylic shielding the plugs from any water splashes when i clean my tank. the But one day when i stop renting and have my own place and billions of dollars to blow i want to have my own little power station with a DJ strip and dedicated circuit breakers to my reef tank.
