I am working o. A new project and converting my basement to my filtration room. I have about 15 feet of distance between the two. For those of you who run similar set ups what do you do to span the long distance between controller and tank?

What kind of controller, and what do you need controlled on the main tank? I would think just Lights and power heads and depending on which you have may not even have to be physically connected.
i.e. Echotech Radions and Vortechs can be controlled wirelessly with the Apex WXM.

Have Kessil a360s and a maxspect gyre. Guess the only place it come into play is the automatic fish feeder. Oh yes and I run and Apex.
