Hey everyone so here is an update for you! I went and picked up some aluminum today to make a mount for all my controllers and switches, I modified the tracks that the original drawers for the filing cabinet were on to make a sliding pannel that will pull out of the cabinet to let me have access to everything on the panel, its not done yet. I still have to mout the last apex box and the netgear wnce2001 i just ordered to get it all online and then run all the wires and plug it all in but so far its looking good everything fits snug as a bug, and when its slid in i miss the return line by only a fraction of an inch haha weeeeoooo for measuring haha

Damn that looks great!! Good thing someone suggested to you to go to a sheet metal shop, eh :wink: I might have to steel that ider. :biggrin:

If you grab one of the 0-10v cables from neptune you can run your tunze pumps off the controller. It gives you a lot more control than the standard tunze controller and its like $20. It will also give you a little more room in the cabinet. Looking good by the way.

I only have the one pump and thats the nano wave box, i didn't realise that you could do that, I have been searching for a while and haven't come up with much, ill have to look into it. Do you know if you can out the tunze ATO in the neptune as well?

That is the most advanced controller you can buy. If you really wanted you could run your home alarm system off of it lol. You need to buy a break out box..they retail for about 35 bucks and it controls all sorts of relay switches. Basically anything that has an open or closed state. You could put a sensor on the cupboard door that sent you an email if anyone opened it. pm me your email and I will send you a user guide for it.

They are pretty amazing what you can do. Oh and yes it will run your ATO. Tunze's is a pretty solid one though.
