looking for reliable power center

[scarf_ace1981]

i bought two power centers from ebay when i was starting the hobby but they are trash. can anyone point me in the right direction? preferrably eight outlet power centers w/ the switches on the front.

If you can, spend a bit extra and get the Reefkeeper2. Call it a powercenter with benefits

i can plug all my stuff into the rk2?

RK2 has 8 fully controllable outlets plus expansions. I have my halides T5s moonlights, fans, pumps etc connected to it. Plus it tells you time, temp, ph. All plugs can be controlled to your specs meaning:

Turn on halides at 9AM - 9PM but shut them down if temp goes above 83.
Paameters can also be Ph dependent.

Now you can also hok the thing up to your PC. Even if it did nothing, it looks cool

so if i have to plug more than eight things i need an adapter w/ more plugs or something?

 

[bad coffee]

but how many things do you need to control?

I have an ACJr. Control Circuits will be:
1 MH
2 MH
3 T5
4 T5 over fuge
5 sump fan
6 closed loop
7 heater
8

Things that won't be controlled
Skimmer
moon lights
return pump
litermeter
phos/carbon reactor

So I'll just throw a power strip in to power all the non-controlled stuff.
