Let's see everyone's Apex Control Board/Panel
I used a Coralife Nano stand for a 10-gallon tank and converted the stand into my cabinet for my apex control board. It will sit's right next to my display. I have almost completed the control panel! I just need to mount my 2 6050 TUNZE pump controllers, Skimz 163DC Protein Skimmer controller and my Ecotech M1 main pump controller and this project will be FINSIHED~ and ready for hook up. I have the classic Apex so I have added the salinity probe with the PM2 Module and for my Leak Detector, I got the ALD Module with 3 Low-Profile Advanced Leak Detection Probes that will sit around the sump. Also, I will be adding 2 webcams streaming, off my Net gear WIFI box - one under my tank in the tank stand pointing at my sump and one inside of the tank ones the new Coralvue's 720P webcam get released in 3 weeks. I can't wait for this new webcam to come out by Coralvue - price tag, is not as bad as I thought it would be. It's only going to be $199.00 and you download their own app.. Basically, it's a plug and play.

Is there a downside (moisture maybe) to setting up your Apex Neptue system in the fish tank cabinet with the sump?? I was considering that option as I do not have space to build out a separate cabinet. Thoughts??

Some have put electrical components, power strips, etc inside the tank stand cabinet with success. I personally don't do this for fear of corrosion and fire hazard potential but that's just me.

Thanks Jim. I have done some research and I have to agree placing all our expensive electronics under the cabinet......probably not a good idea. I did find two pagoda style DVD cabinets that will work very nicely with the decor and most importantly wife approves. lol
