Ordered my apex and need some ideas on a cabinet or maybe in the wall ideas
 
This for me was a complex situation and took months for me to find something my wife would like sitting next to the tank.

Was going to purchase a rsr170 cabinet since I have a RSR250 and place it right next to it. This however was going to cost a little out of my budget. Instead I found a small cabinet on sale at rc willy here in Sacramento. It was bright red, but painted it black and it serves its purpose for housing everything.
Some people will say ikea, I just really didn’t like the look of any of their cabinets.
Here’s some pics

I went with Ikea cabinets and mounted them all on the wall.
 
Here is my creation modified cabinet from Amazon 89.99, spray paint, hole cutter....with some built-in Fans...it stays at 73 degrees..Lights are controlled via BoB (One either doors are opened, they turn on...with a 15 delay to turn off, when both doors are closed)
