I have a custom built stand for my 75 gallon. I have a 30 gallon breeder for a sump, which leaves not a lot of room for electronics. I just moved things around and re-plumbed everything, so I figure now is a good time to consider cable management. I'd like to add a co2 scrubber, maybe a calcium reactor in the future, and I have a Hydros Control 4 that I'm putting off installing. The Hydros 4 will be automating my RO/DI filtering and ATO, this means that it will have a crap ton of wires in addition to the power bricks for everything. What would you do with this space? Controllers on the door seems to make the most sense as they are accessible, but what do I do with everything else? Also, the Hydros power strips are massive, and I'll ultimately need two or possibly 3 and they will take the place of one or both of my existing power strips.

@techdef is a genius!

@techdef did exactly what you described. 3/4” MDF. Hangs them vertically and spaced so all the heat can dissipate. Also inherently creates drip loops.
