LET's See how you solved your wire mess!! Need help and ideas!!

[bam123]

I was told not to coil wires because of fire risk. My current situation is getting dire! All plugs and outlets are away from aquarium so there is still hope. APEX with 4 probes, 2 part dosing, 2 pumps for versa Auto water change, auto top off sensor and pump, skimmer, skimmer cleaner, 2 lights for tank, 2 lights for scrubber, scrubber pump, return pump, 3 mp10s, 2 tunzes with controllers, heater, fan, and 3 backup batteries (2 vortech and 1 icecap) !!!!!!!!

Coiled wires isn't a fire risk. Use a wire cabinet, Best thing I ever did.

An equipment cabinet is a great idea

Bunch of idea on cabinets here. A lot of pics show how wires are managed inside and around as well

Here is the updated photos I promised. As much as I could the cabinet houses the controllers, wires behind the cabinet. Then a few that couldnt reach are in the dry side of the aquarium stand.

Unfortunately.. I haven't.

Looks nice from the outside:

but the inside..

definitely had big ambitions.. but after like the third cable trying to hide extra cable and tuck things.. it just always ends up a mess :X
