Plastic Cutting Boards = Mini Controller Boards

[208reef]

This just occurred to me today....

Add some stainless steel stand offs to the back and you have a controller board(s) for under $50. You can drill them to add additional holes for cords.

I have been using laminated closet shelving for years. Works well, very sturdy, with many different sizes and colors available.

I used this. Comes with two boards:

Add standoffs between the boards:

Slides right into my "control board" space in the stand:

Plan-ish plan (except I'm no longer using an inkbird and instead have a second wifi strip):

I did have to buy the connectors (I bought aluminum screws, nuts AND standoffs), so a bit more money, but still way cheaper than buying a premade controller board.

Also, the bricks are going in the space between the boards, so hopefully partially hidden.

Too funny, whenever we go to Ikea I'm always looking for something reef related.
I like buying the plastic ware in the kitchen dept to place my mushroom or clam.
Also cool little plastic cups to keep my frag plugs . pipettes . glue .. etc

That is a clever mount for controller boards!
