Electrical strip from Ace hardware

[mrpontiac80]

On my new 180 I plan to add a couple of gfci outlets as soon as I can, but I’m still going to need a power strip. Is anyone familiar with the Monster brands found at Ace Hardware?

Monster is a good company. They make everything from basic electrical to stereo equipment

I have the exact same power strip...
It has the reef octopus INT 150 skimmer, helio heater with 2-200 watt elements, 2 reefwave 45's, 2 reef octo 2's, sicce 7 SDC return pump, GHL P4, GHL KH director and GHL doser 2.1.
No problems at almost a year now

It's on the left side, back edge of stand.

I used this one. The outlets are helpful because some go in other directions so it's nice for larger plugs. I also like the flaps that close off what isn't in use.

At least they have metal housings.

I'll assume you have no need for individual switching of each outlet but if you do, check out CRST (brand) on Amazon.

I'm not familiar with that specific brand, however, consider a product that has individual switches. I find them invaluable instead of pulling plugs to shut something down.

Something like this:

I'm using a waterproof model.

I like that.. thanks

Thank you all. I just didn’t want to end up with something cheaply made

I have the CRST from Amazon. I like the illuminated individual switching

I have had two power strips smoke and nearly catch on fire, luckily we were here when it happened, I ordered the waterproof ones.
