Hey Wendell,
My tank will be built within two walls with a closet access on the side of the tank as well (for maintenance/plumbing/whatever)

I am currently building a new house and the tank will be viewed from both sides. So I am very interested in hiding a surge device in the walls as I will have the room.

Cheap
Great Water Flow

Cons

Bubbles
Noise
Saltcreep
Bulbs need cleaning more often.

I am setting up a new tank this week and would not use anything but based on my warehouse tank enviornment, just not sure if I would use it in a tank which is not recessed into a wall.

My 2 cents


Wendell
