Anyone have any pics of their electrical setup? This is the inside left portion of my stand. Each power strip runs on its own dedicated 30A circuit. My apartment complex had some wise builders!


Not Labeled...

Strip 1 is Daytime (lights, fans)
Strip 2 is ON (pumps, powerheads)
Strip 3 is Nighttime (LED, Fuge Light)
Strip 4 is ON (CA Reactor Components, Heaters)

Every plug is labeled for convenience. I even have my effluent tube labeled... :blushing:

OH, and my PH monitor reads the PH in my reactor, not my tank! :)

here's mine when I just installed it. I will take a pic tomorrow with cords plugged in. The two switched plugs are for the main pumps. Both legs are 20 amp dedicated circuits.

Nah, I swayed away from a controller for now. I think I have too much stuff. I dont plan on running a kalk reactor, and my CA reactor has the PH probe inside of the reactor. Not sure if it would work correctly on a controller. On a future tank I may get a profilux.... :wink_smile:
