185g Deep Reef Build

[Blue World Aquariums]

Thanks Brett! I had a look through your current tank build but I couldn't find an actuator (great idea with the table of contents...might have to borrow that one!) Were you talking about a previous build?

This tank will have a lot of wiring, and I needed a nice solution to keep everything organized while accomodating the movement of the canopy. All wiring between the canopy and base will be routed through these coiled cables:



A bit heavier than necessary for most of the power going through them, but too big is better than too small!

Weatherproof junction boxes will keep everything tidy, adaptable, and dry. There will be a total of 3 boxes in the hood. This large one will accommodate wiring for the actuator controls and sensors, ventilation fans, and will route the USB to another nearby junction box serving as a USB hub (for touch screen, Vertex V-link, and webcams). A small junction box will handle the power for the Illumina LED fixture.
