Bought some controllers and timers and decided to draw up a schematic on how im going to set things up. I really enjoy wiring, pluming and the organization of all the componets. Its a major part of the enjoyment of this hobby. i know people that do the bare minimum and i have trouble understanding why when there so much to be explored. Anyways this is what i got.

Since i just got into the saltwater hobby i figured id build something. Ultimately, this will be upscaled once i get deeper into the hobby, for now its getting set up for my 9.89 Gallon tank thats in my living room. Im looking to find a large frame at goodwill and using the border to create a frame around this control panel that i will hang on the wall behind the tank like an art piece.

Equipment on Ctrl board
  1. Outlet power strip w/ independant power switches per outlet.
  2. BN-Link timer
  3. Ink-bird 1200watt Wifi temp controller
  4. Hygger mini wave maker (1600gph)
  5. Lumini Pixi30 30watt LED
  6. 100watt Heater
  7. Lifeguard aquatics 108 GPH pump

Could u simply build a shallow box with hinges to cover it up? Measure the perimeter of the mounting board, and just cut a finished wood of her choice stained to the color she chooses? A simple 3" trim between the newly cut piece and the wall, and voila, u have it covered?
