If you are like me, underneath your tank was a complete mess. I had a RODI bucket with stuff thrown all around it, wires going everywhere; it was a mess (I had a lid on this bucket and was very careful about electricity). How do you keep your setup organized? I would love to hear ideas!
 
Wire management it the biggest imo. For me i made a custom roof for my stand that attaches to the support for custom pot lightsThe cavities that get created behind provide excellent spots to hid excessive wire. Cut the holes in a way where any wire can bend under the supports and back up in the next cavity when running wires over a distance. Also using peg board has worked well for me to hold all the power back. Asbytine you do wire tucking though expect to buy extension cable when applicable.

Photos were at the time I was setting things up but you get the idea.
