    So currently my power center is two power strips pluged into a GFI. The main problem is that it is all very confusing and that slat creep is slowly moving it. I am going on vaction and want to have everything organized. I want there to be switches. I was thinking of using this Amazon.com: American DJ 8 channel AC power strip with 15 amp breaker and 8 on/off toggle switches. 19 inch rack mountable: Musical Instruments How could I do this could I make some sort of box to house them and all the wires. Also would these solve my salt creep problems? Give me your thoughts.

    Looking in to this.. I have power draw issues and have to seperate my lights into another room so it doesnt kick my breaker. Would this help that?

    You could reroute power in your house, but if you are going through that much trouble, it may behoove you to have a dedicated circuit installed for your tank instead.
