Controller mounting board differences

[yman182]

I’m looking at some controller boards and found the adaptive reef and also the marine depot controller boards. They look identical to me. Does anyone know the difference?

They look exactly the same, but different manufacturers.

How about DIY piece of wood and paint? Then you can use that $140 dollars on a new fish.

This looks like a good solution. I'm about to try painted plywood screwed into 2x4s which I'll screw into the studs. It should be easy enough to create cutouts in plywood and it will be cheap and sturdy.

The ones marine depot sells are made by adaptive reef.
