Organizing cords inside SUMP

[SpikesReef]

I have spent a lot of time making sure I organize and conceal my cords inside my stand, but I'm starting to realize I should organize the cords coming out of the sump. I keep trying to get the cords to fit nicely in the corners but they drift away quickly. Once out of the sump I have a solution.

Any one have any tips on this?

Anything?

Zip tie them together and hook the zip tie to one of those suction cups with a hook on them?

Aha!

I'm following to see what folks are using.

What I've found is that the more organization you have in your wires (the prettier they look), the more difficult it is to remove that cord/equipment for cleaning/maintenance. So my current trade off (not the prettiest) is using large plastic conduit clamps to hold the wires. These make wire removal and re-installation fairly easy.
I've found that for me, the more difficult to remove the wire for cleaning, the greater the likelihood I'll put off taking out that equipment for cleaning.

I used some cheap towel hooks from Home Depot around the top of my sump area. Gives you two places to hang wires/cables. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Crown-Bolt-Coat-and-Hat-Hook-in-Oil-Rubbed-Bronze-61992/203187058

It works pretty well but, if I had to do it again I'd probably use something like this: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...ble-and-Wire-Manager/1044393_32249748103.html

This is a great product. Comes in white 6' lengths you can cut to size. You can also get it in 2x2. I've seen it on Amazon also but it was cheaper on this site:

You could get a roll of velcro. I use it at work, my tank, and behind my tv.. easy to add or remove cables.

I have cable ducts to organize the wires inside my stand. I meant literally INSIDE the sump, like underwater. I am either going to do nothing or use small suction cups meant for airline and use zip ties.
