Hello again, I finally have my tank up and running and I got a few fish going on as well. Today, with the help of some forum members I got my protein skimmer running properly!! I now realize that my electrical setup isn't going to cut it as I find it very difficult to do anything inside my cabinet; so now I am looking to move my electrical outside the cabinet. I have an eFlux return pump and DC power hub, along with a wave pump hub, IR sensor, LED status indicator, two Hydor 425gph power heads, T5 light bar, and my skimmer that all need power. Has anyone put their power setup outside of the stand? My tank is in my open concept living/dining room and I don't want to see a mess of cables. I plan on upgrading my lights to Current USA Loop LED's at some point so I will need even more space for electrical components.

Any photos of an exterior setup would be great!
 
I have seen some have a separate box/cabinet/chest next to the tank to keep the electrical.
