What are you using for power strip?

[Braedo_Reef]

Looking for a power strip with enough plugs to support all equipment and safety features. Havin a bracket/mount for mounting inside the stand would be nice as well. What are you guys using?

TIA!!!

I have many tanks so I have many power strips. The features of the Hydros power strip is nice because it can connect to a controller. For a traditional power strip, finding one with a solid surge protector is recommended. Additionally, spaced/turned outlets are nice because some of the plugs have blocks at the plugs. Good luck with whatever you choose!

I use one of these for my display tank.

I'm using two different power strips. One has 12 outlets, 6 of which have on/off buttons for easy switching power (plus three USB ports). Another has 6 outlets, but you can control them with an app and set custom schedule, which is great for refugium lights, etc.

I recently bought this one for my new tank, but package says "Do not use in wet locations," so I'm wondering whether I should return it and find something else. Or maybe that's just a common duh -- electricity and water thing.

I’ve used a big Belkin brand home entertainment center power/data distribution strip for years… purely because they warranty damage to electronic equipment (if you register your product!) in the case of a power surge/etc which the strip fails to mitigate!

I use ADJ strips. 8 plug strips. I use 4 on my 150. 1 one my 50 and 35 and a 4 plug unit on my 15.

Amazon product ASIN B08B3J6JM5These are nice easy to install, the tab for attaching is on the outside. They come into lots of difference sizes make sure you get the correct one.

Kasa powerstrip. Basically an $80 controller for your tank. Can manually turn on/off anything from anywhere l, set timers, and hook a webcam to it.

I'm using metal CRST one from Amazon also -- since 8/2024 and so far so good, FWIW.

I had plastic one like in post #4 catch on fire before that,,, but after quite a while of use.

For a chuckle, here's what the plastic one looked like after:

2EB bars and 2 kasa strips. Lots of controls.

I have that Kasa one and I'm very happy with it. It's nice to be able to tell Alexa to turn off the protein skimmer or auto top off when I'm doing work and not have to fumble for cords to unplug.

I like these. They make a smaller version as well. I have some trip lite strips that work well but the crst seems to be better made, at least the housing does. I gave up on the kasa strips after two failed.

Eb8 power strips, switching to hydros eventually.

I try and use splash resistant outdoor strips when possible.
