Still under construction actually....
I dont have as much going on as you do so I was able to get away with a smaller design and incorporate it into one of my side cabinets. I made a tilt down door/board and chose to mount the EB8 on the back because I hate looking at everything plugged into it.

Very nice build! On those 3 outlets you have behind your control panel, are they all on the same breaker or how did you wire that up?

Don't forget some kind of ground bus bar to go along with any breakout box

Me?
The tank is on it's own breaker, yes. Its just a 3 gang box with 3 receptacles in it. I wired it with a length of liquid tight to a power inlet on the far left side cabinet. The whole tank then gets plugged in with a #12 cord.
Everything is plugged into the Apex EB8 with the exception of the 3 items plugged into the box you are asking about which are the in-stand light, the wifi adapter outlet and of course the Apex itself
