Couldn't bring myself to pay someone else like adaptive reef to do something so simple for my hydros. Built a little initial test control board today though. At only 14 wide x 18 high, I have room for 3 power bars, a control 4, two smaller or modules, or wave enginer down the road if I want to go that route. Also like the idea of making it isn't a box for even better cable management. If I want that route, I would like to flush mount a tablet with the Hydros App showing all the parameters at all times. Only materials were 1/2" plywood, semi-gloss black paint and primer, a few grits of sandpaper, and some cheese cloth, plus a table saw and sled, with a round over bit in the router, a large 1 3/8" forstner bit, a jigsaw, a random orbital sander, and (optional) an oscillating spindle sander.
Glue up:
Almost doesn't need paint.
And a quick mock-up while I wait on the wifi outlet brackets:
All ears if anyone have thought on how to make it better. Its going to be sitting on the floor or my fish closet, which is actually just about 20" height of closet space next to my fish tank that I use for water mixing and general electrical and ro/di duties.
