Wife through a curveball at me tonight and now the wheels are turning. Getting ready to do a tank swap and the wife asked me if I could find a way to put the controller board I have in the laundry room behind the living room where the new tank is going to go. Has anyone ever done this and what headaches did you run into? If you have pictures that'd be helpful too. TIA!

BUMPING. If your going to do a controller board in a separate room depending on your ceiling/walls, you'll have to run it through one of them. Or if you wanna leave wires on your floor you could do that too..

I’d have to see pics but sure anything is doable if the wires are long enough or you’re comfortable extending them.
Found what is called a wall eye, to 3D print which will give me a passthrough to the laundry room from the living room, which honestly the biggest hurdle in my brain at the start, now the daunting task of seeing how to extend all the cables properly. Figured out most of what I will need to extend. Just now trying to figure out a couple of the more challenging extensions, the temp senor for my Helio controller and the pump connection cable for my Sicce SDC 6.0.
