425XL Power board solutions

[Sonja]

I have an electrician coming out next week to give me a quote for making a power board for my reefer, he will be with they guy setting up my tank so I'm sure they know what they are doing. I just wanted to ask here for pictures of what everyone else has done. I want it all to be neat and tidy with everything labelled. I want to avoid chaotic wires connected to extension leads that are all in a tangle-we'll save that for my TV setup!

I want to get this right so if anyone has experience or ideas please let me know, I'm in the UK. There must be a thread somewhere full of pictures and suggestions, I just can't find it!

I have a 425 and its tight for space. I built a board and now I am rethinking that. What I would suggest is lay everything out on a piece of card board and arrange it to fit. I also mounted my skimmer, heater control and topoff above the sump due to that's where it is operating at. I also put all my lighting power bricks/cords/power strip behind the tank.
Best of luck
