Ty! I’m really wanting to get some ideas on where everyone is mounting there dosers, etc! But that would make a pretty good start. Lol!

 

[hijinks7]

Mount your doser up high and then trim all the tubing to almost exact length. Also look into some cable management options that amazon or big box stores have for the wire mess.

This is how I have my dosers. They are under my 75g vivarium stand with the lines running to my reef

I have the same doser. I found this bracket I think at the same website.

This tank is being revamped right now, so the actual doser ia on the temp tank.

Cable hiders, false wall, and control panel make a clean set up!

Here is mine so far, still in the build stages.

The key is planning, lots of planning. Well ahead of time before any buying of equipment or even the tank and stand. Laying it all out on paper. I like to do sketches of possible layouts. Then laying it all out in the real world before you finalize any placements. Dont be affraid to move stuff around, start all over and keep trying to get an organized stand. Zip ties, wire oranizers, labling and false panels are your friends.
