T5 Supplement for Kessil A360W

What is the PETG wrapping you used? Where did you get it? It looks very organized.

You can get it from most computer modding outlets; it is typically used for sleeving power supply cables but it works well for any wiring jobs you want to tidy up. This site has a pretty good selection but you can google PSU sleeve and find many retailers.

I used it on the float sensors and dimming leads for the lights as well.

Last questions... Hahahaha
What did you use to finish the ends? Is that black heat shrink?
What did you use to attach the end caps to the t-frame?

I was about to ask the same question this morning :D Looks like heat shrink to me. On my gear, I soldered D barrel jacks on my stuff, but they are corroding and giving me issues.

Well. I measured and hung the 80/20 aluminum t-frame. Well centered if I do say so myself. Hung the lights. But didn't think to compensate for all the cords pulling the frame back a few inches. Is the best way to secure the cords on the back of the tank so that there is more slack and hopfully not pulling the lights back? Power cords and all the Kessil connect cords add up to a big bundle that I used heat sync to bundle.
