So I seen many people have a separate controller cabinet that looks amazing and I wanted to follow and have some thing built on the side of my tank. I decided to go with her 71 inch high cabinet and just wanted some opinions on placement or ideas that I may have missed just looking for some different viewpoints


So I plan to utilize the following:

2 apex power plugs
Controller
2 pm1
Link?
ALD
FMM?
1 maxspect gyre
Versa dosers
Manifold pump and return pump( varios or vectra unsure which I will use)
Finned controller
And a 4 dj power cord which I feel doesn’t need to be placed within

I don't see anything wrong with your plan, but for me, I would not bring water into what amounts to a electrical cabinet. At the very least I would have the wet section below the electrical and fairly well sealed between the two.
 
Looks awesome! I wish I had the foresight to build something like this before I set up my tank.

What do you mean?
 
Just saying think through leak scenarios and lay things out so the electrical stuff will stay dry. Based on your picture the only change I might make is putting the divider between the upper and lower sections below the EB832s.
