Condensing power bricks/outlets

[mjw011689]

I’m looking for ways to eliminate plugs/power bricks to free up outlet space. I have a hydros wave engine that currently runs 3 of my wave makers, so that eliminates 2 outlets/power bricks needed, but is there something that can power multiple devices besides the wave engine? I have some off brand pumps, and a couple lights that id like to condense to one power source if possible, because id like to add some dosing pumps down the road and I’m out of outlet space. Aside from just getting a larger power strip, are there any realistic options out there?

Currently have 3 blades, return pump, 3 wave makers, heater… ATO, sump light, and I know I’m missing something else here. I just set up another tank right next to this one and I’m going to have 3 lights on that, along with 2 wave makers, possibly a need for couple other things.

Also, yes, I have confirmed the current draw is still far under the breaker and outlet ratings.

in the Homelab w

orld. a cheap way of getting compute is with a series of compact computas called tinyminimicros. but they each have a brick and you normally run them in a cluster. so 5 bricks. some even go up to 10. but recently a guy has developed a PSU to eliminate them. idk if it will help you but a good place to start.

If your power bricks are 12VDC or 24VDC, you can look into a Kraken, since you already have a Wave Engine. I have one and really like it. It isn't cheap, but it does add a battery backup for your pumps as well. If they're 36VDC, then I have no clue. You can even power your Wave Engines off the Kraken to get rid of those power bricks. I have two Wave Engine LE's powered off mine.
