Step 8Putting it together
I chose to drill a couple of holes and use some plugs and sockets too attach the power to the box holding the lights and current limiter stuff.
Holes where then drilled down through the aluminium box and some nuts and bolts used to hold it to the lid of the tub.
I was fortunate enough to be able to pick up my power supply for £2.50 from JPG electronics in chesterfield (they're really good, they have shelves full of random things). It had some useful holes i used to bolt it to the lid with as well.
When choosing your power supply keep in mind the current and voltage requirements, and make sure it wont get too hot under load, and is suitably protected from shorts/current spikes. Remember this will be running for extended periods of time! you don't want anything bursting into flames.
