Server cabinet build for electronics on reef tank

[Carl Eckelman]

I used a custom server rack to store chemicals and mount electronics like apex system and I think it came out great.
Thoughts?

Why not those industrial control panels?

That would be cool too, but I found a company that sells different size server cabinets on wheels and they powder coat shelves or wire organizers diff colors. I matched the apex colors

I will post a build with pics, I just wanted to see if the openess of the server rack on wheels was a huge turn off for reefers

I only had a small area so it could not be as deep as a regular cabinet, so I did a search and custom server cabinet build was 19inch deep which wa perfect for me. They also powder coat all the cabinet accessories diff colors and you can mix and match. I went with the apex colors, orange , black and gray.they ship with a bag of skittles which I thought was cool.

All screw and bolts come in small fishing box . Also very cool so I can add extra stuff later

I put cabinet together and added a shelf and some mounting brackets for apex

I like doors because of cats lol.

This would be a bad set up with cats around

I love the idea of using a rack. Especially considering the good cable management options available. Making equipment tidy but serviceable is key.
