Hello,

Sorry if this is a repeat but I couldn't find anything online.

Like so many other people, I bought the Adaptive Reef Cabinet Wire Management System for my Ecotech equipment.

Right away, I see that the MP40QD Dry side is directly connected to the controller, which doesn't fit through the board wire hole. Am I missing something here? This is incredibly frustrating. Why wouldn't Ecotech make a connecter between the dry side and the controller? That's ridiculous!

Anyway, clearly there's no easy way to route the controller through the board hole. How did everyone do it?

Thank you so much for the help.

This is for my new build, featuring Ecotech lights and pumps:

In my case (exact same case) I opened the controller then unplugged the pump and passed the cord through. The circuit board will fit through as well if you want to do it that way. Either way you will need to open the controller but no biggie.

I just did this, but shocked that ecotech doesn’t include a connector like literally every other company
