I went with used industrial look (because it is)!
10 credits for guessing what is most unreliable part here.
I went with a very similar approach with 1st part of my controls. I'll post pics tomorrow, it's 90 percent complete.

Simply AWESOME!!! Way to go!!!Here is my updated cabinet, still working on a couple more changes.
as a beginner, how do you attached the electronics to the board they're attached to? The lines look so clean when they're attached like that. Are you using some type of adhesives or is there a bracket on the back of each of them?
how did you the Neptune items to the white board? Are they on special brackets?
The Neptune items come with brackets that screw on. They also come with templates that you can print and tape to the board so you can figure out where you want everything placed.how did you the Neptune items to the white board? Are they on special brackets?
Hey did you have any problems running the GHL with the apex?Here is mine it is fixed
That's awesome! So the templates come with the Neptune equipment already?The Neptune items come with brackets that screw on. They also come with templates that you can print and tape to the board so you can figure out where you want everything placed.
The GHL is not being controlled by the APEX . The Apex is controller the power for the GHL but not the dosing. Works great for me... Here is pic of my tank currentlyHey did you have any problems running the GHL with the apex?
Cabinet looks great

It depends on the controller. I know the Hydros has a IP65 rating so it is splash proof. Now the power bars is a different story. I am not sure about the other controllers.I have a question. For the people with their apex and other controllers mounted either next to or on the outside of the cabinet exposed, do you have any issues with the inevitable splashes and drips of saltwater getting on the electronics? I'm thinking of mounting my controller board on the wall next to my 50 cube but I'm scared of any water getting on it. I just have it temporarily leaning against the wall but I'm thinking about mounting it above where it is. Do you think i should build an enclosed cabinet?Thanks.
what type of screws did you use to secure the batteries to the back of the tank? I know they're quite heavy and I like how you have them on the bottom.
what type of screws did you use for mounting the battery pack? i know it's heavy and I want to drill it into the tank stand, but not sure what size screw will hold it!I couldn't edit the original post, but here are the finished pictures.
Check out my build thread for a more detailed description of the construction.

So I guess I will start with how I ended up starting my first reef tank. It's kinda ironic really..... I have been in the aquarium hobby for over 20 years. I started a 75 gallon African Cichlid tank way back then and it's become a self sustaining colony and it's still going strong today...www.reef2reef.com
