I was wondering what my fellow Apex are doing. I have lights and pumps taking up a lot of space on my EB. Has anyone plugged in a powerstrip and run all their powerheads or lights through it?

It seems like the low draw, compared to the heater, would allow you to do this. Any major risk to the system in doing something like this?

Total Amperage for EB8 unit is 15 amp, per single outlet 7 amp, so yes you can split outlet(s) wit some splitter or power strip, but you cannot run more then 7 amp devices total through it.
