Am I ok with having all my controllers under the tank where my sump is? I don't have a spot for a separate board or box. Powerheads, doser, apex etc

Should I put a lid od some sort on my sump to control salt creep?
 
I have my Apex, DOS etc all in my stand above the sump in my RSR 250. Been running this for 4 years now, no issues to date.

It definitely would make me nervous but everyone does it :D Just make sure everything mounted is secure and not held on strictly by velcro.
 
Not ideal but it is ok as long as it is well mounted.
