The first photo is of the center divider (for the cabinet attached to the back panel) and the bulkhead panel (for the conduit from the front electronics compartment in the stand). As with the other areas of this project the white painted areas is for the wet area and the black painted areas is for the electronics. The front electronics area is for the sensor modules and the back cabinet is for the power bars and various power supplies. The center divider has inserts to install up to two 4 channel power bars on each side. The controller company has an 8 channel power bar. I may get one of these for one side. I think I may need more than 8 controlled outlets at the tank. For now that is what I have planned. There will be two independent outlets one on each side of the divider. Each will have a two outlet GFCI breaker. I have a 12 volt supply a 24 volt supply and 2 MP10 supplies to shoehorn into this space. the next 2 photos are of the back panel cabinet assembly rear view. The acrylic panel is not in the back at this point. As you can see the internal wooden brace does not extend to the bottom. This is due to a fan that will be mounted to the back panel. The last photo is of the back panel cabinet assembly from the stand side. The opening at the bottom is a pass through for the cables from pumps and other powered devices. The slit above that is for inserting a flap to keep spillage from splashing into the electronics area. The large open area near the top is for the bulkhead for the conduit and the bucket or diverter assembly(whichever you want to call it). This will allow spillage in the back cover area to drain to the bottom of the stand. It also serves as a pass through from the back cover to the stand. I will get into that in the next entry.
