Greetings all - first post here and newbie to the reefing world. I'm in the process of setting up my first tank (120G) and realized that I have more than 8 items that are going to need power. Quite frankly, I'm overwhelmed by the amount of information to absorb about getting everything to work right initially, but if I take my time I'm confident I'll get there and hopefully without a major screw up...
So for my first (of many, I'm sure) post my question is do I need a 2nd EB8? I've read some bits and pieces that maybe I don't and can utilize a "normal" power strip for items that don't need a dedicated controlled outlet if they can be controlled otherwise. On the other hand, if having another unit makes sense in the long run I don't mind making it right from the beginning.
Here's a list of my equipment thus far:
(All to be run off dedicated 20A GFCI protected circuit)
(2) Eco tech MP40 Powerheads (with WXM module)
(2) AI Hydra 52 (with AWM module)
(1) Return Pump
(1) Skimmer Pump
(1) Refugium Light
(1) Tunze ATO
(2) 300W Heaters
(1) DOS
(1) LED light strip (for cabinet lighting)
Thanks!
