Show off your wiring/cable management

[Justin Thain]

still working on it but I think it is looking good so far...

Where did you get that rolling out cable management system?

AWESOME JOB!

Before I started this build I bought a label maker to have on hand. Best decision of my life D
I'm pulling power from two different 20 amp breakers using one apex jr. and a DIY relay.

I have all my lights on their own 20 amp breaker. The apex jr. controls them through this relay.

Somewhere early in the build

Nothing fancy. I am fortunate to have a of of room. Working on adding a fuge and frag tank. More of an industrial look for the garage.

I am terrible at wire management I get shocked on a daily basis [emoji17]

Here is my electrical cabinet that sits to the left of my tank, hope this is what you're wanting to see:

That looks like a great, organized setup!

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:

Holy ****, that looks good. I have bookmarked this as a reference for my future setup.

Thank you @Nick Kohrn

That is a cable chain like you would use on a cnc machine. You can find various sizes on ebay.

Love the Steampunk theme!

Thank you! I has been a labor of love for sure.

Steampunk!!

It's the best thing I've done for my tanks.

Putting a build together and am trying to figure out how to make the wiring sexy. Do you have sexy wiring? Show it off and explain how you did it. We want to check out the sexiness!

What are you using to hold the power bricks?

Whoa...at first I thought you were using copper pipes in your plumbing......nice faux paint job

 

[alyee5]

Well, I guess I'll throw my hat in the ring...I didn't really attempt anything fancy...I went more with wire concealment vs wire management

I put my power bricks and GFCI powerstrip on a peg board then built a cabinet to put in front of the peg board...

On the cabinet I mounted any displays or controller...I have since mounted an inexpensive tablet next to the APEX display

Inside the cabinet I have my modules and more powerbars...the 4 switch module is for my QT equipment
