What can I do for you Hal?
Located in a closet behind the tank, used plywood mounted to the wall and a finger duct cable management system. Cables were routed to the closet through a passthrough accessible from inside the stand. A flexible option if space and layout permit.
That looks very neat and nice! Like it’s combed out!Never understood the point of these controller boards. You still have the rats nest of wires, it's just hidden. What exactly are these trying to accomplish? Just make it look nice?
I made a new stand for my tank, just made it a little extra long to have an equipment cabinet. I just stuff it all in there, and it's out of sight.
You did a fantastic job on yours. I love it.I have a thread here where I show-off my phalic control board before I added anything to it.
it slides out on runners
Interesting because most other boards even the ones they sell have them on the bottom lol. Now I want to see if I can find it because I truly don’t think it matters.There was something I saw on BRS TV that indicated the power block needed to go at the top. I would put the source here, but honestly, I have watched so much lately I dont remember where I saw it.
Also, I made cardboard cut outs to lay everything out. It made it easy to move around and stuff like that. looks like you may have that covered to an extent.

Pics?We use to use Panduit in the network cabling business and made some awesome rack systems with it. I also used it for my build, super awesome, I can pull the return pumps with out cutting any tywraps for maintenance and all of the cables lay in the tray nicely, I only which I had purchased wider channel
Especially their meatballs lol it really is an amazing store!This is my cheap solution =). I love ikea as well.
To some it's a rats nest, to others a thing of beauty - an artwork of sortsSo basically your trying to make it look neat?
A couple cable raceways would accomplish the same thing.
Of course if you only want to see the shiny boxes, and not all the wires or raceways, then the controller board is probably the way to go.
IMO even with the board you still have the rats nest of wires, and once hooked up, you really never need to access anything on the apex unless you need to unplug something. IMO it just makes it harder to trace a wire if you need to unplug one.
To each their own, but IMO these accomplish nothing in my mind, other then pretty things up. I'm more a practical guy, and go for convenience over look.
