I had a few questions about the electronic box so I'll post up some info. Its made of mdf (I know mdf and water is no good but it was sealed with kilz oil based primer and then a latex top coat) all the edges were glue and nailed with finishing nail.
As for equipment in it my Profilux 2 is on the top shelf. The left side has the 2 radion ballasts (room for a couple more), two of the planned 4 mp40 controllers on the right. In the middle is the two profilux controlled power bars. I placed panduit around the box to contain most of the wiring but need to add more or swap it out with larger ones.



I've removed the UPS from this picture but it will supply power to a heater, pump and one mp40 for about an hour.
