spectra Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I would like to know to what people think. I have seen a few of these in peoples set ups and am thinking of getting a few myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civicsit Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Yea, I would love to hear about it too. I would like to get one or two for my tank as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy-S Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 What do you want to hear about? There just power strips with out the circuit breaker but with individual on/off. I use them and like them. Keeps things neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefgeek84 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I do not have that exact one...but it is awesome, for shutting stuff...I would highly recommend them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defigart Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 If the price was similar, and the group did it again, I would get one or two, (or three). Doran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I love mine. I wouldn't mind getting 2 more. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defigart Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I just looked them up. They are currently $19.00 each, and free shipping at only 199.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriswaters Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 So, we need to get 100 orders? How many outlets on each strip is there? Are they GFI rated? Give me some details and I may be interested. Also, can you piggy back one to the other? Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defigart Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Not 100 Kris, 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 If memory serves me, they are rated for 15amps. You will only want to run about 80% load ( you electricians out there can correct me ). I run 4 pumps, a chiller, 2 MH ballasts, and an 800 watt heater. I have watch my amperage. One of my units only has 4 things plugged into it due to all the amps going through it. I could easily run about 3 of these units on my tank. That's 24 plugs, ouch. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defigart Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Chief, So it sounds like you can't/shouldn't "daisy chain" them. Do they mount into a stand and if so how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Ill take a few if someone wants to setup a group buy. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzypop Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I've got two now and one has been running for 2 1/2 years no problems. I'll take one on a group buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 What do you want to hear about? There just power strips with out the circuit breaker but with individual on/off. I use them and like them. Keeps things neat. Thats the kinda thing I wanted to hear........... thinking about getting some in the near future. I'll look into the group buy and see if we can get a deal.......... give me a few days to report back, OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 I sent off an email to see if a group buy is an option. Waiting to hear back..... when I do I'll post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siskiou Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I love mine! Everything is neat (and I labeled the switches), so I can shut off what I need without hunting around for the right cords to unplug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I have 3 and love them. So easy to shut things off when needed. I can turn off my return pump, skimmer and topoff in a snap, then flip on the WC pump, fill the sump, turn things back on and i'm done. Takes me 15 min to do a WC. Love em!!!

Chief Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Chief, So it sounds like you can't/shouldn't "daisy chain" them. Do they mount into a stand and if so how? I definitely do not daisy chain them. I had 4-20amp breakers installed for the tank alone. Each unit is on its own breaker. They have mounting brackets on both sides.
