I started showing how I built the cabinet around post #118
Ha!Yea pretty much at the before picture...... owe well
"BOOM"
Nice work.
One Q- how did you do the orange frame part? I’ve been trying to figure out a way of doing large curved radius like that with a router, but can’t find a template
Cheers!
I made it completly out of MDF, then caulked and painted multiple times.
I made a master template that took while to make. Clamped it down and used router. After I made all four corners, I clamped them together, and sanded together. Then ripped straight pieces to size. Then assembled boarder.
I pre layed out the board, before I made it that size. That board only controls display, and all my other Neptune controls for other tanks are in a different location
Did you build it?Started like this

Link to where u got those plugs?
My Apex is install is spread across a pretty large setup and is pretty much all mounted out of site below two tanks and also out in my life support shed. This is an custom cylinder tank install I did about 10 days ago.
I still need to install the LED lights once they get their canopy and stand covering done which is about 4weeks out. Also need to clean up the wires in the sump shed. I was too tired to monkey with that when I was done with the install. I will do that when I go back to install the LED's once their canopy is done.
The controller board I made attaches to the steel stand with magnets. The top row on the board contains 2 VDM modules and an LSM. There are 4 Tunze 6255 controllers mounted to the board those. All are controlled by one of the VDM's. The 2nd VDM is for the Reef Brite XHO LED's that will eventually illuminate this display.
There is obviously a lot going on in the shed. An EB8 and EB4 provide the power and control for the return pump, skimmer, chiller, heaters, algae scrubber, UV Sterilzer, ATO Pump, ventilation fans and more. The Apex acts as the failsafe for the heaters and chiller which also have dedicated controllers. There is also a PM1 in the shed to provide I/O ports for the custom breakout box and also an ALD module for the leak detection. When I buried the lines in the ground for this system, we ran an extra 1.5" line between the shed and display for the Aquabus cable between the tank and shed as well as an ALD sensor extension for leak detection under the display.
Is that 80/20? Also where did you get those doors those are sweet.
