I know this is old but can you tell me where you bought that wiring hiding Channel its nice anecdote looks sturdy.

I realize question wasn't directed to me, but you can search "Open slot wiring cable raceway" or similar on the interweb and get all types of options. I've usually ended up getting it on Amazon. The stuff is great!

U can get it from grainger ! It’s called wire duct and there’s a bunch of different sizes ! They might only carry grey now but I’m not sure ! I heard the black is hard to get ! U can check on eBay also !

This is my collection of gear for the Display Tank and Quarantine systems. I probably over did things a bit...lol!

Still a work in progress. I dont have as much going on as you do so I was able to get away with a smaller design and incorporate it into one of my side cabinets. I made a tilt down door/board and chose to mount the EB8 on the back because I hate looking at everything plugged into it.

Thanks for the idea of hinges on the bottom! I have an internal controller board that I was brainstorming how to easily access for removing or adding cords to the back area

Where did you get this cabinet? And are all your wires going through the wall behind it or just around the corner to the tank?

The cabinet is just a standard bookshelf cabinet with the shelves removed. It was purchased at Target I believe? The wires all go through that wall to where the sump sits which is a storage room in the basement. I am actually not even using that cabinet anymore.....the apex stuff just all sits in that same storage room on a board up on the wall.

Here’s mine attached to a plywood board I made. There is a void in the wall to put all my outlets and wires in once closed it gives me a clean look. This board is in a closet directly behind my tank

Awesome set up man. Is that controller cabinet from IKEA? Are you able to give the model or dimensions even.

Thank you!!
No it’s not, I looked there but couldn’t find a cabinet with the dimensions I needed. I think I ordered it on Amazon or I googled that style of cabinet. 41x24x13 are the rough dimensions of it. My wife wanted something with glass that everyone could see into.
