Had to do some hardware work in the aquarium cabinet.
I must have miles of cables, all wrapped around itself.
Every piece of hardware that I have must have 10' cords.
Can you send me pictures of your solutions ?
 
lol I’m in the midst of organizing mine now new power strip, mounting all the dc controllers on front etc
 
One nifty solution I saw on Parker's Reef was a sort of 'mesh' mounted on one side of the aquarium stand, allowing for all the power bricks to be zip-tied to it nice and neat and wires organized.

I'll be trying that method when I move my aquarium to another room and re-do the wiring I think. Right now, my cables and power bricks are such a rat's nest it's probably a legit fire concern...

Velcro, zip ties and old fashioned work ethic. Just make sure none of your cables allow a path for water to take toward electricity because that's not fun.
