Yes but it motivates me to finish cleaning up my mess.Which I am working on today.
I'm just going to start tagging him when I see people looking for design ideas. He can just post his set up and show us how it's done!!!

I did mine with cheap conduit from Lowes and an American DJ power strip. Kinda a pain but if you are patient it will work. I got the power strip from guitar center and love it. No more unplugging to turn individual things off. I also used high strength velcro to mount everything and would really really recommend this. so easy to adjust things so they fit nicely or remove and replace if you need to change something. If anyone goes this route with the conduit it is best to decide which wire you want in the 3 individual slots, tape those together in, and they try to close the conduit. If you don't it will be almost impossible to keep them all in their channels, preventing you from being able to lock down the conduit.

Not the best and still needs some work but getting there.
The right side still needs some work. Great thread and hope I can get some ideas!
That sexy sump is a custom Synergy, just FYI

Can you zoom out a little and show off that sexy sump. I'd like to see that.

You have your controllers and power supplies in a drawer. Very nice!The right side still needs some work. Great thread and hope I can get some ideas!
Well, I consider mine pretty bad cable management, but I have been doing high-end car audio installation for the last 23 years... so my standards are ultra high. With that being said, I imagine mine is actually pretty decent for the reef world... but I just haven't found the time to make mine how I really want it. Here are some pics of the right side of my stand:

Thank you! It is still in progress but, I am happy so far...
It takes up a lot of space in my little living room. I want it to look good, be easy to maintain and keep clean.

I still need to put antique valve handles on it, and hang the lights from some antique pulleys.
The faux painting on the PVC was fun.
