Let's see your cable management!!!

I am working this weekend on wiring up a new tank. Trying to get some ideas on how to manage all the cords, probes, Apex modules etc. while keeping it as clean as possible. Please post up pictures of your OCD cable management so I can work on mine

THANKS!!

Aaron

I use those plastic bread ties to label my cords at the outlets.

I tried cable management. Everything is nice first 4-5 weeks then your start adding new stuff it just eventually gets clutter over time. *** you add more modules or reactors to the system.
