Pristine wiring thread

[Mike de Leon]

Let's see some pictures of your super organized wiring and share your thoughts on how you came up with it!

I am doing a build and would like an organized bottom of the tank.

Thank you in advance!

I'm not sure if it is pristine, but here is my tank's side electrical compartment:

Cable trays inside the sump compartment:

Good start. I like the cable trays - tidy but wires not fixed down with clips or zip ties.

Beautiful! Where do you get them cable trays? Such a nifty idea. If you need to remove something it's easy. Thanks guys. Any thoughts or tips?

[scuzy]

The white ones or the grey ones? All through Amazon.

Do they come black? I will check Amazon.
I would guess your sump area would be very organized. Would you care sharing a picture of it? How did you plan the layout?

Thanks

[scuzy]

They do come in black.

Not much room after the sump, calcium reactor, ozone reactor, gfo reactor, waste bucket, and carbon rector.

that is clean and organized! Nice set up! When will it get wet? Thanks for the pics.

Holy crap those are nice and organized.

My wires are running willy nilly everywhere.

[wilkerschnepf]

Not my greatest work ever, but the client was thrilled with my ability to clean up the rats nest of wires.

Here is my build thread if you are interested.

bump!

I've decided I'm putting as much as possible on a board outside the stand, maybe even in a small shallow cabinet. It'd be right next to the stand but keep everything out of splash range.
At least 8 power cords plus probe wires will have to pass through the side of the stand somewhere. Anyone have good pics of how they kept that tidy? I'm eyeballing a "brush grommet" type passthrough to keep light bleed to a minimum. Bundling and tidying the cables after the passthrough and on their way to the board is my dilemma.
Liking the fingered channels like scuzy's though.
