Ghetto DIY mount

Do you have a large pile of wires and controller just piled on the side of your tank? Here's a cheap way to organize all of the controllers and wires.

Ghetto? Yes!

Perfect if you need a temporary solution while you wait a few weeks to build something proper? Yes


Steal an empty printer paper box from your office. Steal one scissor. Cut openings for all controllers. Use wire ties to secure. Place all wires into the box. Notice the custom flush mounting.

I could give you a quote for your very own custom build if you'd like? I have a variety of printer boxes, empty mac and cheese boxes, and even a milkcrate imported from the back entrace of the deli down the road.

I actually do like Cheese, but it depends on the type. If it's imported cheese PM me a quote.
