How many outlets do you use?

[ketchup318]

I have an Neptune Apex Controller with 8 outlets. When I first started, I thought that this was going to be more than enough (I only used 3 for my freshwater setup).

It didn't take long for me to realize that I was going to need a lot more outlets. Now I'm wondering if I need to get another 4 or 8 outlets.

Here's what I have so far
- Main Lights (2 on a powerstrip to the Apex)
- Refuge Light
- Powerheads (2 on a powerstrip to the Apex)
- ATO pump
- Return Pump
- Phosban Pump
- Skimmer
- Cooling Fans (2 on a powerstrip to the Apex)
- Wifi for Apex

As winter is coming, I think I may need a heater too...

Just wondering what the majority of well established tanks are using. I'm running a 36G w/ a 10G sump.

I answered poorly.... I thought you were asking for how many wall outlets I use, not how many electrical devices do I run. That would be in the 17+ category.

3 for DT lights
2 for frag tank lights
2 for 'fuge lights
8 powerheads
1 for skimmer
2 return pumps
1 heater controller (with 3 heaters)

That's not including the 3 for my QT (heater, HOB, light) and another 2 for my mixing barrel (powerhead & heater).
