Controller cabinet??

[britnicole1724]

Anyone have a DIY controller cabinet they made? We are looking at buying a tall pantry cabinet like so and taking 1-2 shelves out but wanted everyone’s input before doing so. We’d drill a piece of plywood inside the cabinet and then hang our controllers and everything inside with storage for some other equipment (test kits, Hanna checkers, extra socks etc) thoughts??

Same. Bought a small white cabinet to put next to my tank and set it up as a dosing center.

What did you end up going with? I'm looking for something similar.

something similar to the picture above. A year later it is still standing strong but i hate it. We are looking to upgrade to an actual controller board for our apex system.

Ikea EKET cabinet, sits perfectly next to a reefer 250. The wee silver legs allow you to stash any powerbricks underneath.

I do something similar to this and it works great, but I guess it's all going to be different for different applications, if the right cabinet is found for the right use, it works great.
