Your controller equipment cabnet

[Monster reefer]

hey guys so I'm looking for some ideas of how to set up a controller cables/wall is set up.

I have mine on a separate board under my JBJ 45 gallon. It is able to slide in and out of the cabinet. Power supply is across the back above the opening so no water. Drips are taken care of, my only complaint is I thought it out for about twenty minutes started rearranging then screwing modules on board. But really didn't think that well but it's protected. I tried taking a picture but it's to dark

These photos are from my hex tank stand. The first photo is the area where the controller and non power bar modules are kept. This is isolated from the sump area and is behind the front door of the stand. There are two doors on each side for access to the sump area. The second photo is of one side of the back cabinet where the power bars are. The other side is almost the same. The photo of the back cabinet was taken when the back cabinet was off the stand.

I went to ikea two weeks ago and bought two cabinets there for my control center. I have searched all over for a glass front cabinet and can't find one. Ikea had one, but it is frosted. I like this cause I don't really see the equipment, but I will be able to see the lights behind the glass.

Sorry still working on setting it up still, so no pics to share yet

Nice looking, good. Yeah I'm trying to find good idea for my apex system.

Pretty simple and to the point. The sump is located in the closet across the room.

Here's a couple of threads to help give you some additional ideas as well.

Below is mine...at the end of a peninsula build. Lots of ways to skin a cat.

I built a simple cabinet with a board on hinges where everything is mounted.

Following along. My Apex comes in this weekend and I am planing to mount it on some particle board.

Here is mine........display is mounted on the outside facing the tank. Also have another power bar that runs behind the tank (behind the wall).

I just finished up my setup. Think it turned out pretty good. I am limited on space. But I made the most of it.

Mine is still in progress- need to add a few more modules and clean up the wires but you can get an idea. I have more details about it in my build thread. The link is listed in my signature if you want to read more on this cabinet.
