Power strips and a UPS back up in case the power kicks. You always want to keep the tanks heated and circulating somehow.

I made a power board with a dedicated 15 Amp connection to the main panel. The board is split in 2 seperate switched circuit protected with GFI. One never knows.... AC and salt water.... Eewww...

I just ran a 150' extension cord to my neighbors outside outlet and covered it with leaves. I'm going to bury it in conduit when they go on vacation.....
