Keep the pictures coming. I could use some inspiration/motivation to clean up my nest.

Needs a few zip ties and I still need to install my dosing pump, but otherwise I'm happy!

Here’s my semi organized mess, I have the plugs color coordinated with zip ties for quick disconnects but can’t figure out a clean way to manage wires from the controllers

Are those little brackets across the wires drilled in or do they stay in place using adhesive?

Going the "minimalist" route.

What's the little component that looks like it's doing a yoga pose?

That would be the air pump I am guessing.

This should help - related.

Let's see your controller boards/cabinets!!

Let's get a new thread going to show off your controller boards/cabinets! Hopefully this will be a place where people show off what they've done and others can get lots of great inspiration! Let's see 'em!!

@Pagodazoa maybe these adhesive wire organizers could be what you're looking for?

When I pull the draw out the cables would either break free or have tension on them

Hi, here are a few from today. After dealing with a few failures and system retrofits made over the last nine months, I've recently started redoing things. I still have some work to do, but I've been making progress.

Few notes, LOL:

I use labels so my partner (or, in one case, a friend) can t/s for me if something happens while I'm not home (as in the city/state).
I use cable raceways/tracks where possible.
In spots where I need slack to be able to service something (like controller board cables), I use cable sleeves,
I use a crap load of 3M Command Strips (I don't like screwing things into the cabinet, if possible)

I live and die by the 3M products, including the strips and the hooks. Your cable management is inspiring!
