Partitioned Electronics

[revhtree Verified Admin]

Do you partition your electronics away from the “wet area” of your set up?

Would love to see photos of it!

Yes I have a whole separate electronics cabinet next to the tank that doubles as my testing table
The cabinet even has a fan with a temp prob that ramps up/down the fan doped based on temp so nothing gets too hot in there with all the power supply bricks and everything.

Following. So far I'm at 14 power bricks and two air pumps and haven't even begun cable management yet on my new tank. I bought a stand to match the tank stand and looking to do something similar to @GlassMunky but using power strips with individual switched outlets. Every time I look at the mess of wires I just walk away and think about something else. I suck at cable management.

Almost all of my electronics are on the other side of the wall

Old setup and new setup (moved from DIY controller and control center to GHL). Both setups meant to be clear of drips and splashes. Old setup was overkill in a NEMA enclosure.

6 Gfcis above fed the 18 switched circuits (each with its own breaker) from three main circuit breakers. I used receptacles instead of dead face modules were 3x as expensive. Outputs not shown, but we’re military style connectors to cords and plugs and wall mounted receptacles with bubble covers.
New setup below

If I knew as much as Bean about electronics Maybe I could do that.
