Electrical Cords

Hi everyone,
I'm just starting to plug everything in on my new tank. Do I have to worry about condensation on the cords? I have 3 power stirps, anything I should be watch for? Just want any advice before I make a mistake, I can move everything around but once its in place and full of water it would be hard.

Make sure you have drip loops on the cords leading from the tank. Also do you have a GFI installed?

I'm going to have an inline GFI. I opened the wall and could not fit a GFI in the wall. How does eveyone have such neat area's under there tank. No matter how hard I try it looks like a mess.
