Yes please :) ordered the supplies to lengthen lines so I can run them.

Very excited for cable management project to be underway my neck and lower back can already feel the strain
I am the WORST at wire management. Once I finally bite the bullet and bundle things up I end up ripping it apart to replace some component or another.

That's why I made the hooks; so the wires can just be laid in; no zip ties.

Thanks for the info. I don’t know if the person assisting me designs specifically aquarium stands but appreciate the info.
Curious. Which way did you decide to go? FramingTech or steel stand?

I am still good with FT. Again though, you really have to crank on the fasteners IMO. But they (zinc coated) are not showing any signs of corrosion.

Good stuff; I like that idea. I hate unbundling stuff and never end up rebundling. I do have some channel stuff I bought but hasn't made it to my ToDo list just yet.

Thank you for the reply and reassurance. I sent my metal stand design to FT and they are working on a “final” price quote so hopefully I’ll have it by early next and can place the order. My tank is a inwall and have the design set up with Joe already just waiting on framing to be completed on the new home build. Again thanks for the input and recommendation.

Just checking in. You must have gotten this thing built and wet by now right? Send me a link, curious.
