I had a set up just like the one in the photo above. The Vortech controller pulled off the wall and landed right in the sump. The breaker did not pop and it killed my entire tank. It was about a $5,000 mistake. If you have a Vortech to mount, I recommend you buy the metal mounting bracket from Ecotech. It's inexpensive and gives you a nice hefty metal bracket that you can screw into the wall.
I will never have any electronics mounted above the glass in the sump, and if it has to be, it'll be built to withstand a tornado.
