That is why I settled with 4x4 screened box and I put a WHITE ONLY metal roof on it to better keep it cool. I made one of the side panels removable for easy access to the pump if ever needed. So far after several years of non stop running it still works fine. The laser will come in handy for you just to keep check on what is going on. Good luck!


Flame was it you that built the box and posted a bunch of nice photos showing wiring and ducting? Maybe we can find the thread for cc.
