I am setting up a new tank right now and while looking in my other tanks sump I realized I ought to organize my wires better in this new build. So here is my idea for clean looking and functional wire control.

Most people’s idea of wire control is small wire clamps or hiding it behind a mounting board. However what if you tucked the bulk of your wires behind a board in nice coils and then ran them through PVC which could be the color of your liking. Then from the main line of pvc that raps around the back of your stand using t adapters you could run smaller pipes with individual wires to there specific equipment.

This method would look nice in a pvc plupmed sump and also allow for permint drip loops. This could make for a nicer looking more functional and safer sump.

Anyways just an idea. Tell me what you think down bellow.

Ps this could also work with dosing lines.
 
How would you get the plugs through? Unless your going to splice the wires. Something like this might be easier.
