Let’s see those Neptune apex diy cabinet builds!

[Lps_lover12]

Just picked up a Neptune apex el used and ordered the dos and the trident. I’m looking at building my own cabinet to house all my electronics. Other things in the cabinet would be my two controllers for the Nero 3 and Nero 5 I have as well as my heater controller (InkBird). Excited to see them all!

Here is mine. I saw one in my LFS and had their cabinet guy build me one. I stained it and set it up. Holds 2 dos and my trident in the bottom with the apex in the slanted part

Do you have a pic of the inside of it all finished? Looks awesome. Also what tablet are you using? I’ve read the fire is ok but annoying how you have to log in all the time so I was debating between that and a iPad mini

Here’s what I did I put on a piano hinge all wiring in back. Added a little led for some light

I should of said an old stereo case. But back in the 80s it was considered a entertainment center.

Where can a guy find something like this? Thats perfect for a tight area

Not the prettiest overall but nowhere to hide cords behind a wall or anything.

What dosing containers are those? I’d like to pick myself up a set. Looks good! Cord management is the biggest pain, and I went to school for electrical! Worst part but all worth it in the end

They are Trigger Systems 5g ATO reservoirs. The Triton version (I think they're called) seal up a little more if you want to look into them as well

sorry for the super delayed response

theres enough room for a second dose above the first. Just needs purchased.

I had it built by a local cabinetry guy. My LFS uses him for building aquarium stands and had something like this for an Apex display at the store. Was honestly really cheap for what it was. Unfinished it was around ~$170

I don't use Apex controllers, but here are some pics. I did not want to see the "mechanicals/electrical" stuff - I want to see the tank only!

The cabinet is bigger than the aquarium though !
