Cabling Nightmare - Suggestions?

Anybody got any creative ideas on how to tame all of these cords?? Tank is in the bedroom and the wife is DEFINITELY not going for this....

From in no order start looking into cable ties, zip ties, cable sleeves and cable hooks. It looks like cable hooks and zip ties would be the easiest for your issue.

A guy posted a nice organizer for the power cords on my build thread. Check out “Spending lots of money on a reefer 350”

The cords really are a pain to make look nice and take a ton of time to get tidy.

@techdef gave me these plans for a small power brick holder. Great organizer.

lol, I always think its so funny how our tanks look so nice from the front, but behind the tank it looks like a time machine or something.

I use twist tie's to tie everything together as neat as possible. There are also some "cable hiders" that you can buy, they are basically tubes where you can stuff all the wires through

Nice!!

Probably could be quickly modified to take power outlets and other modules.

I"m looking at either https://amzn.com/B07FFN2HN6 or https://amzn.com/B07Q8QN5CB to help get mine under control. It's harder than network/server cable management because our cords may need to be unplugged at anytime. And then there are the power bricks...

Agreed! I ordered a kit from Amazon as well, with velcro, cord wrap, and some sticky hooks. I will post up when I get it figured out.....assuming I can get it figured out! Lol

These wire raceways from Amazon make it more manageable to remove a cord if needed.

I have been very happy with the finished product.
