    Break out box and switches

    So I'm trying to add switches to the break out box to control feeding/pump/emergency kill switch/etc for when i have my hands wet or what not. After researching (YES i did use the search function) I'm so lost and confused on what switches to use and how to wire them. (i have almost no experience in electrical).

    Will a pre made box like this work?

    seems to all be connected to 1 ground and each one has red cable.

    Thanks

    The BOB can only accept dry contact switches and cannot power illuminated switches.
