For some reason my wife wasn’t the biggest fan of wires all over the floor and the ATO behind our tv on the entertainment stand. I can’t imagine why......After putting it off for a long time I decided I really needed to clean it all up. What better time then now to get an apex and build a controller cabinet. After a few hurdles in my plan it finally all came together.


This was the before. Dosing container on the floor and ATO behind the tv.

Added a power bar for non apex essentials and moved the hinges out to make room for it. The lower shelf was to low for the dosing container so I drilled some new holes for the pegs. After cutting the upper shelf it made the perfect back mount for the controllers.

I still need to clean it up a bit and do something to organize the dosing pump hoses. It’s definitely much better than before tho. Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks
