I've assessed the risk of producing this number for you. The probability of me unplugging a device by disturbing my nest of wires is unusually high. Organizing all my cables is on my to-do list. :eek:

I responded back on post #6 that I had 27 plugs. I had the top portion of my equipment cabinet opened up and thought I add some pictures.

Here are three powerstrips (mounted on the back right wall), for my DT lights....one for whites, one for blues and one for moonlights. Included in this section are the five power supplies for the Vortechs that are all plugged into their own powerstrip.





Here's control central, just below the light section. Two Reefkeeper eight plug powerbars, an expansion outlet for the heaters, the controllers for the Vortechs and Waveline return pump, and that white outlet powers the skimmer and biopellet reactor and is controlled by a float switch in the skimmate container.




Now you think it looks all organized, but if you pop the floor to this section you'll see the mess of spaghetti wires all over the place.

I feel much better about all of my electrical after reading this! My husband's favorite spot to sit happens to be next to the tank. He wanted to plug his phone into the outlet to charge. Hahaha! I was like, "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ANY OF THAT!"
