Start by labelling every cord near the plug. I wrap a piece of duct tape and list what it is and the wattage.

Make it so there are no plugs or outlets in the same space as the sump. Even if it doesn't seem that the sump is splashing or if it is covered- over the years bits of salt can form around the plugs etc.

I learned the hard way.

Dan,

You are the reason I have been given the green light. I still am feeling for you.

I am thinking about hardwirning all of the electrical components into a single panel well away from the tank. Has anyone done this, and do you have any tips?
