Finding a way to manage all of the equipment we use on modern reef aquariums in an organized and attractive way has become a massive challenge. More tank technology is great but the facts are, we are dealing with more cords and control devices than ever before.  That bird's nest of cords and pile of power bricks is not only unsightly, but it's also a fire hazard and makes it difficult to manage your equipment.

Mounting Your Gear

Expanded-foam PVC board acts just like wood; you can screw it, cut it, sand it, glue it and even paint it. Small wood screws work best for most controller mounts but the PVC surface will accommodate adhesive tape and velcro as well. There are pre-drilled holes throughout the back of the cabinet designed for use with zip ties and twist ties to hold cords and power supplies in place.

Equipment Real Estate

There are eight unique faceplates on the front of the cabinet with eight power brick shelves, six cord routing rails, and nine cord cutouts on the back. Each of these cutouts measures 3” x 1.25” which is plenty big enough for 3 prong plugs and extra cordage to pass through.  Being the PVC material is so easy to work with, cutting and customizing is easy should the need arise. If you need additional mounting real-estate, check out the Controller Board expansions.
