This is probably one of the best videos on how to DIY controller cabinet for your Apex system. This build came pout awesome and superior work! I am getting ready to build one but I need mine wider since I HAVE plenty of room next to my SCA150. question - HOW MANY OUT LETS ARE YOU RUNNING TOTAL BEHIND YOUR TANK?
I am so sorry that I missed this comment! Thanks for watching and commenting. So I am running 4 total outlets behind the tank (2, 2 plugs). I had someone install 2 breakers in my breaker box so each plug has its out breaker.
Thanks. A lot of the cords were easy to route without extension cords. I have since removed this and did a side cabinet on the stand since I had no room to get behind this.
That's awesome Paul 😍 the light blue matches the tank better...this is a really EPIC build and makes the tank look nice and clean! I know a lot of thought went I to this build for sure
This is awesome. I’m going to paint the inside of mine white since it naturally reflects light it will brighten up the inside of the display nicely while hiding scuff marks, dust, and any imperfections in the paint after install.
Hi, I’m watching 2 months later and I’m wondering how you routed the cables for the vortech pumps that go to the dry side through the holes you drilled? I thought you couldn’t detach those? Thanks!
Reefer Gill made a DIY cabinet and he removed 3 screws from the back side of the controller, disconnected the wiring harness (quick connect) and slid the wiring harness through the cable management holes
Looks great. One suggestion. Take some quarter round, paint it black, and attach it right in front of the led lights. That way you get the glow without seeing the actual leds. 👍🏼
@@inventoryking Where did you find the right angle cables to connect your aqua bus? I’m working on planning my tank build and would love to have them like you did. Thanks so much.
inventoryking I don’t see any on their website so I’m not sure if they offer it. I’m wondering if a stereo headphone jack would work check this link out they are not to expensive to try it out. www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=648
Superior job on the cabinet #@UCD0v9KxbMdnSz0WC6it2bMQ! I bought two Marine Depot cabinets that will be getting placed on top of each other w/ all of my Apex gear and then I will be building my tall and skinny cabinet like yours but mine will only be 55'' in height.. What size lumber did you use for this build if you don't mind me asking?
Extraordinary work my brother
This has to be the most 🔥🔥🔥 cabinet built for the apex Nice 👍🏼
I really appreciate that Jose!
Yes! Epic! Awesome control cabinet and organization!
Thanks!
Amazing cabinet! Perfect

Was a very good job … I hope to get one those …

Thank you for watching and commenting!

Best build I've seen! Nicely done, sir.
Thanks
Looks very nice!!! I agree with wanting it wider to get to the ports on the energy bars. Other than that,awesome job!
Thanks Ryan! Yeah If I had more space it would be wider for sure. I appreciate you tuning in for sure.
Can I get measurements of the wood you used and screws :)
Looks good nice lay out
Appreciate it!
WOW! Such an awesome job. Hard work pays off 💪
Many thanks!! You are right, it’s hard work but man so so so worth it.
Superb Job
Thanks
If you were to do this again would you still do 2" wire grommets or would you go bigger for any reason?
You know, If I had more room I would for sure.
That is so cool. You’re so organized.
Much appreciated Jim!
Jim Jarrett for only $10,000 you could have it all
Awesome build! Did you end up buying extension cords for example, like your heater or in sump components?
Thanks. A lot of the cords were easy to route without extension cords. I have since removed this and did a side cabinet on the stand since I had no room to get behind this.
Hello thanks for vidéo , where did you find a paper to make hole ?
You bet! I found it online. Search Neptune Apex Mounting Templates.
Nice and neat .
Thank you!
A man of many talents!! 👍🌱
Thank you 👍🏻
How did you manage the cables behind everything? How did you tie those together to the gear on the tank and hide them?
To be Honest I am going to build a new controller board with much more access.
Nicely done ✅
Thanks ✌
Enjoyed watching. Everything 👀👍🎉

Thanks for the suggestion.
what kind of usb cables are aquabus cables ? where to buy it from amazon or anywhere? do u have a link?
Are you talking about the right angle adapters I used?
@@inventoryking no, i am talking about aquabus cable from neptune looks like USB cord

Doesn't the energy bar need a 1-inch surround for the heat exchange?
Yeah it needs room. There is a little room. SO far so good.
Neptune sells extension cables for the PMUP
Thanks. Do you know if they have that for the optical sensors as well?
