Wire management behind tank?

[fishstix]

How do you all mange wires behind your tank. I have wires all over for my new tank. I need to do something with them before tank gets finished. They basically all run into my cabinet with my Apex.

Any pics as what you have all done behind the tank.
Thanks

I get mine all sorted and labeled (at each end) and in a couple of months it looks like spaghetti again. I'm always playing with my system so I don't try to fix the wires in place. That would just make them a bigger PITA when I want to pull something out.

Ahh, attempting to manage the copper beast.

Personally, I use a combination of a shelf, lots of Velcro, twist ties, switchable power strips and a big dose of keep it outta sight.
Functional, understandable, but not always the most desirable. This is what it looks like behind my tank.

I don’t have a specific advice but I do want to remind you that when you are setting up the wires, keep in mind about maintenance. Make sure all the wires are easy to access when you need to.

I built this.

All the wires are behind the top part. The shape of this is an upside down “L”

Mine are a horrible rat’s nest of things I’ve haphazardly added. When I need to unplug something I jiggle the cord where it comes out of the power head/heater/whatever and look for wiggling. My secret shame, but that’s why stands have doors.
