Show Me Your Equipment Cabinets

So I designed my sump too big and there will be no room underneath for any additional items, apex, ATO and dosing. Looking to either buy or build like a small equipment cabinet to house all these items, please show me yours, i'd like to get an idea on how to organize/design it. Thanks!

Make sure all the electronics are underneath your ATO system so water can drip down the power cord and blue smoke poofs out at 3:37am ;Clown

Add a UPS for critical functions! I have two Power Bars, one is on UPS, the other not (for lights).

Rack your power bricks or do something to keep them cool. They give off a ton of heat.

Keep water away from electronics!

The power brick rack is a good idea.

I am in the process of designing my control panel too. Question I was looking for some insight or guidance on, what are you using to mount everything to? Plastic, acrylic, metal?

I would say it’s your preference. Your creativity can go towards all of those. Is one better than the other?.?. Not really. The link posted above show you can use them all.

I still have to add in the controller board lighting and few modules, but it's well integrated.
