Hey guys, working on my tank and I have tons of wires. I looked searched but couldnt find a thread w/ different wire management ideas. Do any of you use an "electric panel" or some board to have all your plugs on? Any sort of neat wiring pics?

Share with your fellow man...

I don't have any pics but I made a wood panel/box and put a power strip inside it. from there I ran mini extension cords that I made to the face of the board spaced out so I can fit timers on each plug. poor mans apex I guess.

Here is what I did. Used "Wire Chase" to conceal excess wires and power cords where I could. Also separates the control modules from the wet/underside of the aquarium.

You recommend the 3/3 vs 2/2? I don't know how much wire I can fit into it but seems like 2/2 holds a lot ?

I bought similar stuff from automationdirect.com The first order I got 2.25 x 2.25 and that seemed way too big for my application. I reordered and went with 1.5 x 1.5.

I haven't installed it yet (I'm telling myself I'm going to do it this weekend... maybe) but it looks like 1.5 x 1.5 is going to be sufficient. I keep trying to get Bean to pick up the 2.25" stuff... <NUDGE NUDGE Cody>.
