plugs ?

plugs ?

Plugs is the term used by renegades that refers to electrical connections!

Dubs, 33 is a lot ... Do they all go into power strips? , have you tried to calculate and 'balance out' the watts/amps in each strip?
I've tried to 'balance out' the load on each strip, and each circuit that the strip is plugged into. I also try to 'stagger' the things that are on timers, so that (for example) all the lights/ballasts don't come on at the same time and overload the circuit! Heaters are also not plugged into the same strip.

That sounds dangerous! 33 is scary! I hope you planned how you plugged stuff into power strips/outlets. Fires do happen from overloading power strips/outlets.

Maybe some of the plugs can be eliminated by using a manifold. Don't know about lighting though.

 

[cmantis]

You can unplug the hair clippers now that the dreads are gone and you will be down to 32.

 

[dubs]

Who said I wanted to eliminate any of my equipment I like keeping everything solo so when it's a issue I can fix it with messing with the rest of my tank and am a plumber so if I wanted to go with a manifold I could build one with my eyes closed

 

[dubs]

Lol very funny cmantis little u know I already started grow my dreads back

 

[ricwilli]

1) My fault for assuming that you thought you had to many "plugs"
2) I never said you couldn't build a manifold.

Damn, I need to learn and stay out of peoples threads.
