Electrical Outlet Pt

[leebb]

Hi

Planning to setup my 4x2x2 tank soon, now thinking of how many electrical plug points I need to prevent any electrical overload. Need advise.

I think I need the following points:

MH light ---x2

Pl light ----x1

return pump---x1

Chiller-----x1

Skimmer pump---x1

Power heads ---x2

Total:8 plugs total

If I hood up all the 8 plugs to a 6-way extension and then plug the extension to a wall outlet, will there be any danger?(electrical harzard)

I only have one wall outlet near my tank location...

Any expert can advise?

i'm no expert but yazid advised me to use multiple extensions and allow a single equipment into a single plug.

here's what i did.

from one power source on the wall, use a 3 gang multiplug.

from these 3 gangs, i hook up 1 hager box for my lights and

the other 2 extended to another 5 gangs on opposite sides of my cabinet.

in that way, i try my best to put only one equipment on each socket.

so far so good for a week.

hope that helps.
