Controller Panel Ideas

Lulu_Lunette · Feb 27, 2021

So I'm working on my new display tank in my family room (build thread coming soon I promise) and right now I'm working on laying out the control board. I picked up a Reef Adaptive board and it tucks in nicely in the new builds stand and allows me to removes easily. It also makes it so I do not have to drill into the pretty cabinet

The new build is a Waterbox 104.5 frag system.

I've never set one of these up before so what are some things to consider? I can't decide to keep the energy bar on it or have it elsewhere in the stand.

Below is what I have laid out so far. Any thoughts? Suggestions? Advice? Regrets?

Looking good to me!
We will see what the professionals have to say but I think its well designed.

Make sure you leave plenty of room around your EB 832 so low voltage hookups can be accessed easy enough, and bigger is better. You will find as you grow in hobby many addons down the road you would like to mount. I ended up building new control board because I ran out of room on old one.
