I just bought the hydro x10 and xp8 energy bar. I was wondering what do most of you guys do for mounting controllers in or outside the sump cabinet? I currently mounted mine inside but im wondering if its better off outside of the stand? Where do you mount your controllers or powerstrips?
 
High and dry is best. Inside or outside the cabinet is up to you.
I mounted it as high as I could get it I think im just anxious lol. I think its about 1 foot from the socks.

Looks perfect. Is that a redsea tank?
