Ok I know this is bad but just had to share since im fixing it tonight (got tired of being shocked) My electrical child turned into a monster, I just counted it takes 21 plugs to run my system.. Started with 3 or for now 21..lol piled away between the tanks!
If im the only person that has a mess like this I will give up the hobby..lol

Remember im fixing it tonight! its only been this way for 3 years!

I have a third strip over on the left side.

Only difference now is my MH ballast is now on top of the canopy, not under the stand.

Crystal,

What type of timers are those you have in your pic ??

I really hope you don't love or cherish anything in your home, because that is about as bad a fire hazard as I have ever seen! Perhaps you can just submerge all of those wires in a can of gasoline to conceal them:eek:

[CrystalAZ]

Dave, they are the Prime 7-day programmable digital timers from Cosco. I think they are like $15 for a 2-pack?

I've had them down there for almost 2 years and LOVE them. Never have had a problem.

HAHAHA!! Thats funny! When i get my new tank you wont be the only one LOL

[VoidRaven]

Wow...I mean wow...yeah, I'm surprised that you haven't started a small fire yet. Let alone severely shocked yourself to the ER. Glad to hear it's getting fixed finally!!

[TheSTONEisDead]

I keep all of my wires organized just in case. If you lable them it is much easier to keep track of what you are working with.

[Zoalander]

I think your black Urchin jumped out your tank, oh wait nevermind.

[Randall_James]

What would be nice is a power strip layed out to fit transformers and timers.

[spidey07]

They make them.

here is just one example, but there others out there that are just for bricks (AC/DC adapters)

[fewfish]

HA HA...That kind of reminds me of my computer wires!:D

Best investment I ever made

You cant imagine how simplified everything becomes. Not to mention I can precisely monitor the elctrical consumption of my tank hour to hour (or instantaneously if I plug in a new gadget).

[JENnKerry]

WOW!!!!!!!. I'm glad that Jen is a neat freak. I think she would kill herself if she ever let our equipment look like that. But glad your fixing it :D

:lol: I would buy a fire extinguisher pronto...
