    I'm sure it probably is. If you don't need mounting screws, you can buy the American DJ one lower in the page and save $5. (Then spend that $5 and another $5 and get the powerstrip liberators for $10). ;D

    I'm using the American DJ model. The reason I picked that one is because I know someone who has been using that model for the last 4 or 5 years. However, I'm sure the other one is just as nice.

    I'll tell you what. It's sure nice to be able to pop off the powerheads to feed or turn off the protein skimmer to dump the cup, etc.

    It's meant for a server rack and any server worth it's rackspace is gonna draw more amps then our tank equipment other then maybe the Larger MH's..

    That said if you keep it dry it should be more then good enough. The individual switches are a great bonus. Never realised how much so till I got the RedSea with the switches on the side.

    I really like Pyle Pro. Their standard line sucks, but their Pro stuff is fantastic. I have not used their power center, but I am sure it is fine.

    Amplifier rack actually. Used for Professional Audio. Even better draws and requires very clean power.

    I have it set up that way now, but with a tangle of outlet strips and cords. ;D I figured that I would need something like the Liberators. Thanks, guys, that helps a lot! :beer:

    I just picked up 2 of the American DJ units used from a local reefer breaking down his system for a move outta state - I have heard great things about their reliability.
