Trying to figure out how I could support transformers and wires off the floor, inside my cabinet, I came across this solution. I had some leftover PVC fence rails that had predrilled ballister sockets. Ran one side thru the table saw and created a mountable, waterproof channel that I could cut to length and install inside my cabinet on the roof or sides. The channels can be opened on the wide or narrow side, depending on the equipment that needs to be suspended. Thought I'd share!

You may find you have a problem with the transformers cooling. My D.C. return pump, DC skimmer, and LED transformers would never be able to cool properly in a tight channel like that. Something to think about and test.
