What Do You Do with All those Electrical Plugs - AquaController II????

[Bemmer]

Okay, I have been working on the setup for this 450 gallon system for weeks now. It is a total of four tanks, two display and two support tanks. I have almost all the plumbing done and now moving to the electrical side of the project.

So....WHAT DO YOU DO WITH ALL THOSE ELECTRICAL PLUGS. Oh my gosh, I counted a total of 50 plugs. Is that possible!!!!!

Also, I have an AquaController II. w/three -DC-8's? Do you have one? What do you plug into yours? Pumps, wavemakers, lights, etc. Help!!!

Group common plugs such as heaters, fans, moonlighting/fuge lighting, etc. Then take a strip outlet and power it to one outlet on the DC8. Make that your heater plug. I'm going to be doing this when I get my Jr.

So, are you saying to get a strip outlet with multiple plugs, plug my two heaters and say the cooling fan that will be over the sump, then plug the strip plug into one DC-8 plug? How do I turn them on/off?

I'd suggest plugging similar items into different circuits (if you have more than one in your fish room). That way, if you blow one circuit it doesnt cut out all of your heat, or all of your flow, etc.

I realize this doesnt answer your question, but I wouldnt group them all together.
