I recently got an apex over the holidays and I am just now getting around to setting it up (busy recently and didn't know how to get it mounted in my tank). I have it setup inside my tank right now but im not 100% pleased with how it looks in there. That is why I'm asking all of you. How does every one have their apex (or other controller) setup in their tank? Let's see some ideas, suggestions and your controller board!

I have been adding on to my Hydros system. My spot in the stand is only 8" wide so my wife came up with an ingenious way. It's kinda redneck engineering but we used a wire shelf. Now, once all the controllers are mounted (I think at full build out I have 6 plus the XP8 power strip) I also have room for hangers for my testing and cleaning equipment.

I haven't taken any pictures yet because I just put the wire shelf in yesterday and haven't had a chance to route the wires and hang the controllers yet.

The first two are from my basement fishroom and the last one is underneath my tank upstairs. The controller boards for me are a blessing as it gives me a way to manage all the cords and prevent a giant power cable mess. You can see from the DOS controller board just how messy things start getting once you start running tubing in the front, let alone all the connector and power cables. You can check my build thread or just ask if you have questions
