Where would any of you put your ballast in this setup?
I am running DWC & fear for a water spill.
I have a water level tube on the outside front (Pictured). I am worried its going to take on a life of its own and fall over, soaking the bottom liner.

I know that hah. I just mean where out of the tent. IE where you place yours. I guess this is more for someone who has a similar set up.

That's a good idea.

I need to see if the cords are long enough.

haha its all good dude. I guess I was looking for all answers in the sense of keeping it in the tent but on a small table or putting it out of the tent on something.... It's a simple concept, I just don't want to fuck with water and electrical coming together.

uninterrupted power supply kind of like this.


my power flickers for a few seconds too often for my comfort.
so my lights stay light for a while after a power outage, up-until now i have only had to
deal with a flicker and this ups has saved my light schedule many times.

I put mine on top of three bricks even had my res bottom fell out I would be ok. Just get it off the ground six or so inches you will be fine.

do not put it on top the tent unless you have something underneath it, it would suck to melt a hole through your tent. i would use a couple bricks and set it on the ground outside the tent. just keep it off the ground.
