my whole house is a fire hazard im sure, at least 4 per tank, heater filter,light,pump....... really annoys me sometimes as plugs have to be remved for short times for vacum etc

i mostly keep labarynths so i only have 2 pumps but its about 4 per tank aswell lol

Usually about 3 main sockets. One for heater, filter, and timer. Then the timer has a 1 to 3 socket adapter which runs lights and my CO2. My 55gal has a additional socket for the moonlight.
