    sorry for this post being stupid but i was wondering if you can put a triple socket thing on one of the outlets on a reefkeeper lite pc4. would it overload the power cord or no? i have two heaters and I want to put them on the same outlet.
    thanks

    I dont know about heaters because they use some good power. For me I have all of my powerheads on a power strip and have that plugged into a socket on the RKL. They are koralias so they barely use any power at all..

    Yeah, I wouldn't push it too much. They are only capable of 1800 watts total per powerstrip. The small things can be linked but I would not risk a fire with larger items like lights, heaters, and pumps.
