Good power strips?

I'll take some pics later and post them. I made a simple 3 sided box to hold the dj strip and mounted it with L brackets to the stand. It makes water changes and swapping out components so much easier.

+1 on GFCI protection - I have GFCI-protected strips at home, but not on my small office tank. Guess who got electrocuted by a malfunctioning heater this weekend....

I was lucky it was minor, and it's my own fault for not having GFCI-protected strips on my office tank. First thing I did after shutting down power and removing the faulty equipment was place an order on Amazon so that doesn't happen again.

Shocked, not electrocuted!

Electrocution = Death

Best of luck! You'll love it. It's so much safer and cleaner than regular strips. And it enables me to have my kids or wife help.

Dj power strip is beyond huge. Triplite makes a 7 outlet with individual breakers for 6 of them. Same size as a normal power strip.
