Which Power Strip is Best?

[cmsurfr22]

what kind of power strips does everyone use for their aquariums? and what do you do to prevent them from moisture? i know about drip loops and GFCI but what other things can i do to prevent disasters? i will be using an AquaController Jr. with a DC8 but the DC8 doesn't have enough plugs in it to controll everything. plus there are several things that don't need to be plugged into the AC Jr. as they are always on, like the my auto top off.

I've always liked the metal powerstrips that businesses commonly use. I have more faith in them than the plastic ones from WalMart. And since they are metal, I don't worry about some plastic having a meltdown on me and starting a fire.

where in relation to your tank do you put these powerstrips? is it safe to put them under the tank? near a sump?

I have my current one on the side of the tank. My next tank they will be in the stand. They are pretty sealed, but i wouldn't have any water splashing on them.
