Almost have my Apex control panel completed! I just need to mount my TUNZE pump controller, Skimz Protein Skimmer controller and my Ecotech M1 pump controller and this project will be completed and ready for hook up. I bought the salinity probe with the #PM2Mod and for my Leak Detector, I got the #ALDMod with 3 Low-Profile Advanced Leak Detection Probes that will sit around the sump.. Also, I WILL have 2 webcams streaming, one pointing in the sump area and one inside of the tank ones the new Coralvue's 720P get released.

No standard option would work for anyone person. Everyone has so many different setups and configurations that it would be hard to narrow down a few models. It would have to be purely custom.

This is how we did ours.

Yeah. I just wish there was someone who made them. I lack the time and skills (or time to develop the skills) to build a cool equipment board.

I think you are selling yourself short. To make a nice looking board isn't too hard. All you really need is a board, a drill with a hole saw, and some desk grommets. That gets you 90% of the way to a simple yet clean looking board.

By all means, I am not handy at all so if I can do it, anyone can do it! You need to find a 10 gallon Nano stand like I did and buy a pcs of 1'' plywood and make your rips.
I bought the Oval Grommets off ebay and you will need some two sided tape guys and that's about it. Ones everything is hooked up, I will create a build thread... Now I am building my saltwater mixing station....

I used the Startech referenced above. Be sure to go big. The one in my controller alcove is 3"x3". I used a 2"x 1" behind my sump to carry wires into the controller alcove.
