Custom Control board for my Apex gear!
Started working on my control panel for all my APEX gear, skimmer controller, TUNZE pump controllers etc, etc. This custom sheet of plywood will go inside of my cabinet that I have attached below for to check out. The cabinet will sit right next to my display...

Still under construction actually.... I dont have as much going on as you do so I was able to get away with a smaller design and incorporate it into one of my side cabinets. I made a tilt down door/board and chose to mount the EB8 on the back because I hate looking at everything plugged into it.    Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

So far i have mounted my EB8's, main apex module WIFI Netgear and my ALD mod.
Very nice build! On those 3 outlets you have behind your control panel, are they all on the same breaker or how did you wire that up?

Don't forget some kind of ground bus bar to go along with any breakout box

Me? The tank is on it's own breaker, yes. Its just a 3 gang box with 3 receptacles in it. I wired it with a length of liquid tight to a power inlet on the far left side cabinet. The whole tank then gets plugged in with a #12 cord. Everything is plugged into the Apex EB8 with the exception of the 3 items plugged into the box you are asking about which are the in-stand light, the wifi adapter outlet and of course the Apex itself Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
