I'm planning a 200DD build and was hoping to keep all the electrical connections INSIDE the cabinet. I have DJ power strips that I would mount at the top of the doors and run wires along the inside of the cabinet. I am a little concerned with the humidity getting to the plugs. Would a few exhaust fans be enough to keep this safe or would it be best to plan on the electrical on the outside?
 
I take it there will back on the tank? The more air through the back, the better off you are.
 
I'm not sure if the monterey stands by marineland have a back on the stand or not. The power strips would be located at the front of the stand though, in case I should need to unplug something from the power strip to change out equipment.
