Very clean! I love the cabinet idea and wanted to do something similar, you've done a great job with it.
Is the DJ switches for stuff you don't need plugged into the Apex? Return pumps and such I imagine? Maybe I missed the answer on that.
Thanks Matt!
This is my plan and logic for wire management and Apex controlled vs static.
Apex controlled (832 bar)
-Pump #1 (Reeflo Dart)
-Pump #2 (Reeflo Dart)
-Pump #3 (sump to tank)
-Pump #4 (sump to nursery)
-300 watt heater (rarely needed) drip system is heated/kicks on at 76 degrees
-300 watt heater (never needed) drip system is heated/kicks on at 74 degrees
-Air pump (tank aeration)
-[empty for future / considering o2 generator once I get the dissolved o2 module]
Static controlled (E-107 bar) #1 mounted inside cabinet
-Commercial air pump for K1 bed.
-Tank lights on timer.
-Powerhead
-Powerhead
-Auqualifter pump for nursery
-Air pump for nursery

I need the Apex to control all pumps, tank operations and life support systems. They will be turned on and off throughout backwash cycles. As an example the sump pump will be turned on the following day after a backwash. Easy to forget about.
Static controlled (E-107 bar) #2 - this will be mounted externally just under the stand on the nursery for quick access. This will not be in the cabinet/under lock and key. This is for lighting
only. I do not care if anything on this bar is forgotten about and left on or off. A zero risk and easy access for something I use daily type approach.
-Feed lights
-Under stand lighting
-Nursery lighting
-Under nursery/over Ultima lighting
-Utility light
