In the market to determine whether i should buy an EB4 or an EB8. The price difference between the two is $54 CAD. As some of you guys know i have moved my sump to the basement wherein i also moved my Apex with its EB8 downstairs since most of the equipment being controlled is in my sump area...i still have a couple outlets available if i need to use it for anything in or around my sump...Since i moved the sump i wanted to have some outlets accessible for my display as well...Currently i have radions,T5 and Vortechs on my display plugged on seperate strips. I will be using WXM to control my Radions and Vortechs so they wont be connected to EB outlets..Keeping this in mind i would like to know if i should get an EB4 because the most i will be using it for is to control my T5 (On and Off at particular times) and my canopy fans..That still gives me 2 outlets available on EB4...What do you guys think is your opinion ...Is getting an EB8 WORTH IT or looking at my needs i should go with EB4 and save $54..
 
I have always found you can never have enough outlets. With a basement sump, you will probably have the itch to hook up a frag tank or some other fun project. I would rather have the extra outlets just in case you need them. Those 4 outlets are cheap compared to another EB4 down the road.

LOl i do have a frag tank besides my display but it is plumbed togather so one return pump supplies to both..The lights i use on them is AI prime which has its inbuilt controller hence i do not bother using it on Apex but you are right for extra $55 i get 4 more outlets...
 
Yeah, I ended up with 3 EB8 and 2 EB4. The latter are used really only for outlets needed far from the brain; otherwise EB8 preferred.
 
I would do the EB8. I bought the Apex Jr. which worked fine on my small tank. But I upgraded and got the EB8 to attach to my Apex Jr. 12 Outlets and I'm a very happy man lol. I have a few open which is nice.
