Wire Management?

I ran into an interesting issue last night. I almost fried my timers when I was rearranging some items a cord got caught and and not having enough hands, I spilled some water straight into the timers... Makes a scary sizzileing sound... anyway. It seems I have WAY to many wires that seem to not want to reach.

I am lookin for new ideas on keeping these cable neat and safe...

Here are some pictures of my electrical set up, it's a 55 outlet CGFI panel wired straight to my sub panel with (2) CGFI Breakers one breaker is for the lights and one for all the pumps, it has kept the mire mess to a minimum and it is perfectly safe. there are some older pic's in here without the digital timers installed but I wanted you to see up close what it looks like if you ever wanted to build one yourself.

Tie wraps and mounting the power strip up helps.
