Something about this post is ridiculously good looking lol

Free Standing Power Center.

We do need more of these

if you cant do a power stand nearby, I vote to drill the wall and put something on the other side.

That's what my wife said holy. You guys are crazy lol

Even something simple this is a slim version that helped a lot 2x6 frame fancy cover and false face plate....

If not drilling hole (easiest), Id replace those huge light holders over the macro tank and put a big shelf across it all. hang macro lights from the shelf. put KHG and other stuff on shelf.

you could drill a big hole then run PVC through it to tidy it up.

Then what are the strippers gonna use.... Joke, I kid.

I think thats logical, thinking on it.

The box you show is similar to the purchased one, just saves me time. I feel like I have zero right now with running...


I think honestly considering the drilling option and running everything to the other side.

theres one or two cables that wouldnt make it but I can use a single power strip under the tank.


Can cover the hole with a picture or something.

I hate drilling because the wall is nice wood paneling.

I am going to keep thinking, leaning towards the path of drilling and thinking about execution while I do boring work.

Plus who doesnt love a good drilling

under the tank so you dont see it... maybe put it at outlet height so you can just use a regular faceplate to make it look nice....

better yet, get these:

put them at outlet height or light switch height.
use this to cut the hole:

check for studs / pipes before putting in hole.

Thank you, this will come in handy.... I was researching what faceplates etc. Its gonna suck getting under there to cut lol

Go here with it

If you wanted something on the wall higher up on the left you could get a medicine cabinet and take out the bottom and mount everything in it and the mount it to the wall.

 

[Nate Chalk]

Through the wall it is. Wife approved project.

Gonna be lots of work. for now it will remain a mess.

 

[Nate Chalk]

Found double gang pass throughs gonna do 2 holes just incase.

Here's under the tank and the other side. I gotta run conduit basically where the power strip cord is and down the wall. Gonna install like 8 outlets or something lol

I'd be tempted to make a larger pass-through and put the uv-sterilizer and.... maybe a frag tank on the other side...
