Show off your wiring/cable management

Not the neatest but I have very limited space

Having limited space is an issue most of us face. Hopefully some of these posts will help us out.
 
I'm in the middle of wiring myself. Just added some simple wire track, from Home Depot, to route everything that is visible.

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:

I've seen some pretty tight setups but that right there is a work of art. Congrats on a job well done!!!

cabinets are very small. Have 22" deep by 20" tall by 19" wide. 10 gallon sump and 5.5 gallon ATO tank, with 8 dosing bottles and a fan to keep things cool. Feeds a 21 gallon "built by me" glass tank. Power required by return pump, light, 2 heaters, ATO, 2 dosers (8 heads total), 2 powerboats, cabinet fan, cabinet light, and one spare for a pump used to do water changes.

Could still use some work, but no more real estate to squeeze wire channels etc.
 
I mounted two DJ strips to an undermount drawer slide for easy access and used panduit to hide all wires coming to/coming from my control panel.
