brackets for power supplies

[mfinn]

Has anyone come up with a handy way of hanging the power supplies for the pumps so they aren't just laying somewhere on the floor of the stand where they can get wet?
So sort of way to mount them on the inside or outside of the stand wall?
I ended up having to replace a power supply for a MP40QD recently because it was laying on the floor and I experienced a flood ( of my own making) and shorted out the power supply.
I am also installing a Vectra M1 and need to mount the power supply up off the floor of the stand.
There are no screw holes in this one like there is in the power supply for the Vectra L1.

Lets see some ideas.

ETM,,, maybe some ideas from you?

3M Command Strips

They make them in black now as well as white. They will hold anything you need in this hobby.

These or Velcro works very well.

I use these for EVERYTHING. They hold fast and come off cleanly when/if you need them to. Each set is rated to hold 4lbs.

was looking more for bracket type hanger.
Glue on Velcro and other similar products eventually fail over time.

You've obviously never used that product then. It will hold power supplies forever with no issue whatsoever. It's been in use under my stand doing just that for 6 years now. I just installed all my new Neptune gear with it too.

I am looking specifically for a bracket.
ETM made some for the controllers.
Hoping for something similar for the power supply.

Good luck.

Good luck.

I didn't mean to come across as ungrateful.
Thanks for the suggestion.


Was looking more for a diy type project.
I made a couple using some thin aluminum, but would rather find something made that could be adapted to give it a finished look.

If I was little more skilled in acrylic work, that would be the perfect material.

I'm interested in doing the same thing and looked at the setup in my local fish shop.
They essentially drilled small holes in the back of the cabinet and cable tied all the power bricks.

I would prefer something like this

Now that's what I would like too. Some of the cable mounts would help clean up my wire mess.

anyone else?

Industrial velcro has held all of my products for many years. Unless you are putting more weight then 10-15 lbs it wont fail. Just clean the surface well before applying

Already have done the industrial Velcro for many years on a number of devices.
Used it for several years on MP40 controllers. It always failed.
So I was pretty happy to see when EcoTech came out with the holders for them.

I was looking for something similar.

I made this out of aluminum sheet metal.
Not perfect but it will work.
