Hi All,

I wanted to mark my power cords, so I'd know what was what. I thought about using pieces of masking tape and writing on them with a Sharpie, but I wanted something easier to see. I decided to use multi-colored vinyl tape, that electricians use to mark wires. They had a set of 6 colors at Lowe's for $5. Worked out very well. Now I can see at a glance which cord is which, without using a flashlight. I chose white for the light, blue for the filter, green for the airpump, and red for the heater.

Helps a lot doesn't it. This is exactly what I do with almost the same color coding too.
 
Nice!
