Power bar in stand?
Currently I am using an American DJ power bar and have a chauvet power bar coming. My american dj bar is outside my stand right now and I was thinking of moving it inside. How do power bars and what not do in such a moist environment? Don't want to ruin my power bars.

You can always separate it into a partition with plywood and then have a smaller hole at the bottom to feed cabling through, keeps it away from direct water and creates a drip loop.

Although I have had no issues with mine, I have heard of them shorting after some time due to moisture. I'm unsure how much time. But im at almost a year with no issues. I think I heard lastlight saying his shorted. Maybe he can chime in.

I have always kept my power bars inside my stand with no issues. My last tank had 2 power bars for over 4 years with no problems. I had put them on a shoe box, just incase the sump overflowed or a plumbing connector started leaking.

Had mine inside near the returns for 3-4 years without issues.

If your concerned you can always install a 4" computer fan to the cabinet to ventilate any moisture.

Sounds like you are good to go. I would add a fan to keep the air moving and have your powerbars as far and as high from water as possible.

I've always had my American dj bar in the stand. The first tank above the sump and then when I upgraded tanks I moved it to a partitioned portion of the tank. 4 years and its still working. I did have one outlet cut out on me but not sure for what reason.
