These look nice. Would love to know what program is running on the iPad.

Here's mine, not as fancy, but at least it's neat.

Here's mine. I originally wanted a separate cabinet for electronics but didn't really have the space for it. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160415/fba3bb8d0edc42dc1fa48c2e741e750f.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160415/9821221d9183cfe0dcf3835f6705b6dc.jpg

I'm not 100% positive, but it looks like the local LAN interface of the apex. Not Apex Fusion, but the old method of accessing. The color scheme looks right anyway.

[Salty150]

Looks nice!

How far down are you guys drilling your holes for the wiring/cords?

1", 2"?

What size holes are you drilling?

1"?

Thanks, but I log into my Apex both ways, Fusion and web page, and while you can see graphs, they are all overlaid on top of each other. I'm wondering if it's feed from a Reeftronics account.

Mine are 1½" down, 1" dia.

The mounting board is ¼" thick acrylic painted gloss white to match the stand. There isn't a door on the stand, the entire stand is wide open.

Holy cow! So neat & nice. I'd be shamed to put mine up

[Salty150]

I Like this idea also

Nice thread..following along since I will start this step soon.

[slief]

Wow.. Some really nice installs above!! This is about all I can contribute.. I've got so many modules and they are scattered all over the place due to the size of my system. Under my tank, out of site are my base unit, PM2, 3 EB8's, a VDM module and my breakout box. Above the tank on my light rack is an EB4, VDM Module, AFS and two Lunar Sims. In the closet next to my tank is an EB8, ALD & a DOS. Under my display refugium is a VDM module, EB4 and another lunar sim. In the life support shed outside behind the tank where my mixing tanks, ATO, AWC controller and calcium reactor are located are an EB8, EB4, a PM1 and a breakout box. In the garage is another EB4. I am probably forgetting other modules too. .

So here is my contribution.. You can see my display module flush mounted in the wall on the access side of my tank.

This thread is awesome! Hope to see more pics in the future. :)

[MrsReefK]

Here's mine. Not a great picture of it, on the road traveling. Lots of wires still running around that need to be cleaned up. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160416/d142d8909f6b5621007877852a1e4335.jpg

Mine isn't terrible.... But definitely not picture worthy.

This are some beautiful setups!!

I really like that flush mount look of the controller.

Here is how I did mine. Separate chamber with a fan causing positive pressure (no humidity in electronics chamber)

Would be embarrassed to show mine. Lots of OCD on display :lol: as well.

My setup

[fftfk]

Here is my setup. One side of the cabinet is electronics with a Faldo door hiding eb8, cables, etc. the other side is a storage compartment for the chemicals I dose and related pumps.

It's the "AquaController Apex" app.

I have one on my current tank but not the cleanest. I will post pics of my new set up in about a month. Still waiting on my 180 to b finished from planet aquariums. I hope mine will come out like the pics in the first post.

[MidwestReefa]

Just wow! Some really clean set ups

[Sphack]

Nice thread. Keep these pictures coming, it gives me something to inspire to.

That looks sharp!

[Salty150]

Where are you guys finding those cable management bars?

Any thinner versions?

[fishinthewall]

Its called panduit, I think that's the smallest

Hey, thanks!

The smallest they have is 1/2 inch wide x 1/2 inch high.

Here is my Apex Junior all wired up with my WXM module and Vortech MP40s

Teebone110 do you mind sharing the size of your grommets and where did you get them at ??

Very nice.

[teebone110]

Teebone110 do you mind sharing the size of your grommets and where did you get them at ??

I can't recall, it was a local automotive shop that had a few extras available. They are about 1 inch in diameter and they are split so that the cord can slip through, then i just plugged them into the board. If I can find the source, I will let you know.

Very nice.

Thanks, I was happy with how it turned out.

Not embarrassed to show mine. My sump is in a small room in the basement and neatness, as the pictures show, was not a concern. Here are all the basement operations.
Water operation, left to right, AWC, ATO RO/DI storage

And I do have a Junior on the DT to control on off times for the lights and a cooling fan.

Still working on it should be done tonight
