Where did you get the board from?

I made it. I was able to source a 4x8 sheet of PVC board locally and a buddy has a large CNC router.

Wow! Thanks for sharing! It looks professionally made that's why I was curious

Panel front & back. Made from a cabinet door, hangs on the wall so that I can get at the back. The countertop over the sump can be removed for access to the skimmer, Phosphate Reactor, UV, and pumps...

Extra cords are the biggest pain...

Apparently I’m repping for GHL and Octo

Pictures are outdated. I tweaked my flow package some. Someone once told me, you’re never happy with flow nor you are wait 2 weeks and you will want or need to change it. Man is that true, lol.

Just cleaned mine up last week. Nothing fancy, but it's better than the command strips I used to hold everything in place for the last 18 months. (All of which failed the same weekend :P)

A) Wow!

B) The screen displaying Fusion… what on earth is that? I’ve never seen a screen shaped like that!

Thanks. It helps with my idle time. I’m in recovery.

It’s just a pc monitor turned sideways. I stole it back from one of my kids. I wish I could get fusion to stack so that I can get everyone in one view.

My setup.

I do love a good controller board show off thread! :star-struck:

My setup.

Easily top 5% of the controller setups I’ve seen. Nice work.

Here’s mine. Needs a little cleanup of some of the cords and new labeling, but it’s getting there.

 

[Marinus]

lets call it a hot mess for a couple tanks,lol

Wow! :)

My Hydros setup

Yeah I dig this, and a lot of these. On my old Max 500 tank I had a similar set up. Nice tight cord management, near show piece, until I had to pull the first pump. I thought I was going to get one of my guns and have my way with some cord wrap. So, this time around I opted for ease of maintenance. Everything had to be simple. Until I decided to have 3 closed loops. That one L2 it turns out, is a nightmare to get out. Had I followed my same thought process when it came to plumbing this one loop, I would have done it differently. Since my first pump service at 6 months, I’ve decided that it would be 1 year intervals. Which means, once this one pump stop working, then I’ll address it, lol. Gorgeous stuff fellow reefers, gorgeous set ups. I give you credit for the patience.

I’d hate to see what you consider complex! :face-with-tears-of-joy:

I love that white and brown wood panel one in the second picture!

So I come in these threads to count the number of dosing pumps mounted above electrical outlets.

I am pleasantly surprised that I didn't see any. There were a couple mounted above controllers to other things, but I'll let that slide.

Dosing pumps are probably the number one thing that leaks, minimize trouble by mounting them below all your electrical stuff.

Ironically, and by saying this I am likely about to come home to a kalk flood after this 5 day trip I just started, I run a bunch a dosing pumps, I e never remotely had one close to leak, not one, ever. This covers every type I have run. I have had uniseals leak, often. Reactors spew salt water under pressure, 1/2” silicon hoses flop out of the sump and dump salt water, but never a dosing pump. And, I use them for every imaginable use. Interesting. I didn’t realize this was a thing. I agree with you though. I have 1 EB8 that is under my display that I want to get out. I just need to figure out how to power my dosers under the display. I’m not concerned that salt water would take out 24v pumps, if I had a leak that bad, I have greater issues with my house on the other side of my fish room. It’s the single 110v power source I have under my display. That’s the one thing driving me crazy. It’s not realistic for me to run the 24v source wire to EB832s. I think their proximity is too far.
