OMG- how many items do you have plugged in....

[acropora4u]

I have a 240 gallon cubed reef tank and just got a new cerebra vertex controller to run things and it only has 6 power ports to plug things in... I have a 16 port power bar as well but did not realize I have 21 things plugged in :
1. Heater 1

2. Heater 2

3. Heater 3

4. Radion 1

5. Radion 2

6. Orphek 1

7. Orphek 2

8. T5 unit 1

9. T5 unit 2

10. LED blue strip 1

11. Protein Skimmer

12. Return Pump

13. Carbon reactor

14. GFO reactor

15. MP 40

16. Gyre 150 -1

17. Gyre 150- 2

18. Controller

19. Power bar

20. Led light strip around tank
21. top off

whew!! i think everything will stay plugged into the power bar except for the protein skimmer and the gyres, mp 40 and return pump and possibly 1 heater which will all be plugged into the controller

I've got a 30g cube and I've got:

2. Return pump
3. Skimmer
4. Heater
5. Fuge led
6. Ato
7. Water change cord
8. Actinic led
9. Rw-4

I just bought an apex jr so I've got to figure out 4 in going to program on that. Probably halide, heater, return pump, and skimmer to use the feed mode.

Funny you started this post, I was just thinking about this.....thinking my plug use is like that one scene in Christmas Vacation:

I have two EB8's and six powerstrips accepting 27 plugs. I have a powerstrip plugged into a powerstrip!


Lights - 10 plugs
Blues - 3
Whites - 3
Moonlights - 3
Refugium - 1

Powerheads - 6 Plugs
5 Vortechs
1 Tunze

Pumps - 5 Plugs
Return Pump - 1
Biopellet Pump - 1
Skimmer Pump - 1
Dosing Pumps - 2

Heaters - 2 Plugs

Miscellaneous - 4 Plugs
ATO - 2
Reservoir Low Level Sensor - 1
Skimmate Container Float Switch - 1

Perhaps add a splitter for the heaters and radions? Will save you some outlets.

 

[Lilmatty5dimes]

Forgot to say your tank looks great.

I get a panic Attack every time I look behind the stand. It's all hidden out of site but there are miles of cables back there.

I've got two fully loaded eb8's with a couple split for heaters mp40's etc. but I only have four wall outlets and one is connected to my battery backups. So I'm basically out of space.

[jwilliams860]

Could you not run two larger heaters? Maybe plug the radions into their own plugs. I have a cerebra as well but don't use it to control my radions since they run through ecosmart. Might gain some plugs that way

 

[cracker]
