Hey guys.

just want to figure out whats the average amount of plugs people use on their tanks, like.

3 prong plugs and 2 prong included.

i tried making a poll but dont know how.

my tank uses 12 at the moment.
 
I'm at 23 plugs.
Hopefully soon down by 5.
All except lights and CLS pumps are 2 prong.
 
goeie bliksem. and i thaught i am bad. my tank is onlu a 130 liter hence the 12 plugs.
 
Two Plugs install all equipment on a db board and includes timers ext. Was fedup with all the plugs.
 
Oh, I forgot about the DB Board- also had the DB that ran all the lights, skimmers etc, but no need for that anymore :thumbup:

Cool check out Skull mountain from He-Man and the masters of the universe and in purple is He-Man... looking awesome .. now there's one more place for me to snorkle and collect specimens for my tank .... not only the boring places I go to
 
I got myself a 2 cool multiplugs. German made, max 3500W 16A

It got 6 of those Euro round plugs (with earths) with 3 switches and 3m cord. The plugs that all the pumps come out with. 2 together got a their own switch. So by putting related items together, I can switch them off without pulling plugs. One multiplug a side of the sump. All neat and tidy.

But, I got them overseas, and they not cheap.
 
Ok, left side, bottom 2 are the skimmer
Middle two the heaters
Top, open for now.

Other side, got return pump, another heater, Auto top up.

Still need to plug Kalkwasser unit in, and carbon reactor.
 
Bought it in a shop, cross between Game and Builders Warehouse in Oslo, Norway.
Shop Name Clas Ohlson
It was 239 Norwegian Krone, that is R298.

But it is German made, so I think it should be available all over Europe.

(I still got the till slip...:))
