I have the new apex and 2 energy bars. With a standard GFI outlet. I have more things that I need to plug into my energy bars and am out of outlets in my EB.

Some of the things plugged in don’t need to be in an EB like my lights. (Kessils vs radions still deciding). I don’t plan to control them with my apex.

Can I piggyback on my EB and have all lights coming out of one socket? Or should I have an electrician install another outlet?

Of course I have room for 1 more fish!

I installed 2 GFI circuits, (2, dual receptacles) for my system.

I run 1/2 of my vital equipment on 1, and 1/2 on the other.

For example I run my return pump on 1, and power heads off the other. So if 1 trips I still have flow.

So, I would recommend a second.
