Marine Depot Aquarium Controller Board Setup

[Manny'sReef]

I've been struggling with how to set up my Apex and found the Marine Depot controller board setup. Does anyone have pics of what they've done with theirs? Pics of both sides would be great. I'm not sure if I'm going to get the standard or deluxe version. I wish they sold the larger size without the LED's, etc. Just want the boards.

I believe @Elder1945 has a few of these installed maybe he can help you out here.

Thanks, JoshH.

This is the deluxe board. EB832 for size..

This is standard.

I used a few standard side by side to provide more room in my fish room here.

Thanks for the pics. How do you like them? I'm looking to put a new Apex 2016, two Vortec controllers and a variable speed pump controller. If there's room put a shelf for 3 dosing containers.

I love them however I am a bias reviewer and want to make that clear.

However on MD site they do have a majority of 4-5 star reviews also 17 out 17 reviewers would recommend this product.

Hope this picture helps .

Great pic. Why biased? Did you get them as comps for your review? I have seen the reviews on their site, but it's always good to get feedback here as well. I'm thinking about the deluxe so I can hopefully also have my dosing containers on a shelf at the bottom. Wish they had it plain without the lights.

Lolol. I actually watched that when it came out and it's the reason I'm looking at them.

Do you happen to know the material the boards are made of? I have a couple boards, but I would like to get a sheet of the same material to support an ATO reservoir "drawer" I will have with the boards.

Here is my board prior to adding the FMM, 2nd COR Driver, and DOS. Shifted the Apex to the left to fit DOS and FMM. MP40 drivers are also not pictured.
