Where did you get that rolling out cable management system?
 
Before I started this build I bought a label maker to have on hand. Best decision of my life :DD
I'm pulling power from two different 20 amp breakers using one apex jr. and a DIY relay.

I have all my lights on their own 20 amp breaker. The apex jr. controls them through this relay.

Well, I consider mine pretty bad cable management, but I have been doing high-end car audio installation for the last 23 years... so my standards are ultra high. With that being said, I imagine mine is actually pretty decent for the reef world... but I just haven't found the time to make mine how I really want it. Here are some pics of the right side of my stand:

Holy ****, that looks good. I have bookmarked this as a reference for my future setup.

What are you using to hold the power bricks?
 
Well, I guess I'll throw my hat in the ring...I didn't really attempt anything fancy...I went more with wire concealment vs wire management

I put my power bricks and GFCI powerstrip on a peg board then built a cabinet to put in front of the peg board...

On the cabinet I mounted any displays or controller...I have since mounted an inexpensive tablet next to the APEX display

Inside the cabinet I have my modules and more powerbars...the 4 switch module is for my QT equipment

Great job folks!
