Neptune Apex Orgnaization

[2fish4u]

I have seen somewhere where someone has put everything for their apex in a cabinet where everything is mounted on a wall and that wall opens up where all the wires are. I am trying to find this cabinet or a way to make it. Can anyone help me with this?

I used a wall cabinet from Lowe's but put casters on it so it can sit on the floor and I can roll it to the side to get to the wires in the back.

How did you mount the equipment inside? Do you have any pictures?

I use a nightstand from IKEA, sits right next to the tank with Reeflink and Radion ballasts on top.

I originally used a smaller cabinet from IKEA but it wasn't large enough for everything so I redid it with the larger cabinet. I took a sheet of plywood and cut is so that it will sit at slight angle and cut holes in the backboard of the cabinet. Here's the build thread.

That's exactly what I was looking for!!! I want to do exactly that and mount my LED drivers behind it. How did you mount that board in there? Where did you get the caps for the holes?

I am getting a Planet Aquarium 120. I will have my sump in the closet behind the tank and would love to mount that cabinet right above the hole in the wall so everything can run out of the bottom of the cabinet and run to my sump and through the hole to the tank.

I got the desk grommets at cableorganizer.com. I put a screw on the bottom plate on each side so it doesn't slide out and it's just tilted back to rest on the back of the cabinet

Awesome man. To give me an idea of what im looking for because i like the size of that cabinet. What are the dimensions?

 

[Jimbo662]

They are 6"x2.5" ovals.
