Does anyone have a good product I can buy to manage my the cords for an octo 4 and 2 within the tank? I’ve seen those plastic straps that can stick in the outside of the tank to hide them pretty well—where can I get these?

Is this the product you are thinking of?

If so, they are called either zip ties or also cable ties, and are safe to use in the tank.

They are available at any of the big box lumber stores, Menards, Lowe’s, etc.
 
Thanks for the reply! I’m thinking of the things that stick on the side of the actual glass tank, that you can thread the wire through so it holds it close to the tank. Does that make sense?
 
The image isn’t loading for some reason. Basically, do any of you guys have a powerhead that has the wire inside the tank, if you do, how do you have it very neatly low profile threading outside of the tank so it doesn’t look all Janky?
 
Oh nice! If you put those on the outside of the tank, will the saltwater cause the adhesive to come off?
 
I haven’t had a problem. They’re strong. Make sure you put them where you want them permanently or be prepared to put in some elbow grease to remove.
