Hi everyone. I'm looking to get all my electronics out of the sump area into a separate cabinet/add-on.
Could everyone show me how they mounted their Apex components and what you put them in? I need some ideas and R2R always comes through!

Here you are I after having mine inside my stand on a board I moved it out to a home built cabinet
 
Here are a couple of threads to inspire you. Hopefully others will post here with additional ideas and designs.

So many ways to go about it, those two threads cover a lot of options. Key points to consider
- easy access to cables to remove/replace/maintain things
- too big is better than too small, leave room for growth, equipment changes later, etc.
- close to the tank but not where it can get splashed
 
I’m thinking on the sides of the stand, just adding an extension. When I get home I’ll post pics.
 
These are pretty nice. Should be for sale at Marine Depot pretty soon.

Do you know if these came with a coverboard, or is it open as seen? I'd love something like this :)
 
They will not come with a coverboard to my knowledge. From what I saw, it's just a clean way to mount your stuff with easy access to your gear. I think they will come in white and black.
 
Thanks everyone!
 
Wow amazing! I've been wanting to do something like this but don't have the space near my tank. I have to admit I've been looking forward to better cable management when I finally am able to upgrade.
