That describes my tanks. But somehow they all look different to me. 
Your tank is very lovely. 
I NOW use heavy duty gorilla or trex double sided tape to hang my power strips on the wall. If you look in my journal I used to keep them the same as yours until… I spilled water and one got wet. It was not pretty. Lots of hubby shouting  😳 

Your moss mountain on the left is simply stunning. What type of moss is it?

Thank you for the suggestion.  I need to get off my butt and do that.  It would also free up the space below the tank for a possible shelf with small tank (why not use all available space, right? 🙂 ).

I guess it's just generic "java moss", but I'm not sure.  I took a piece of driftwood and used elastic bands to attach the java moss at various places.  It eventually overgrew the entire piece of wood.

Moss features are pretty neat!

Get a piece of wood and some screws (just to mount the power) and you can raise the power strip off the ground.  It's a common thing with that stand in particular, especially if you decide to turn it into a bookshelf in the future!

Edit:  I see that photo with the 1.2G on the bottom of the stand there.  Yeah! it'll be interesting to see where you put that power.  Mine is tied into the wall left/right of all my filters so I don't have a tendency to splash them when pulling media.
