OooOOooo Like the board!

You should! I'm actually going to build a little box to match the wall to fit under the controller board to cover all the wires coming down. Any suggestions too would be appreciated. I have never had something this nice to hide wires! LOL! I want to do it justice!

The plan is to create a removable panel to place under the board.

I like the panel idea . It's probably your best option for easy of access . Maybe you could get ahold of some of the same material the board is made from and add an extension?? It would look pretty seem less if you could do it .

You could use cord covers to match the board and hide the wires.

Still got a lot of wire management but got the frag tank light and frag tank all plumbed in and ready to go! The frag tank was supposed to be 48" because that was the size light I had but I just went with it! It's a little long but it will do!

As you can see I'm good with running pvc too. (Even if it is to hang a black box)

Speaking of pvc maybe use the same schedule 80 pvc to rout all the electric. After all that's what it's for. And those nice outdoor waterproof electrical outlets will look nice in some gray junction boxes.
