I use a power bar to plug my two heaters into and then plug it into one outlet on the apex.
I also use a power bar to plug in three reactors and then plug that power bar into the apex, one outlet.
I have my skimmer on it's own outlet, but you could easily use it on the same power bar as the reactors.

Hope this helps.

Any other hints?

I have 2 Energy Bar 8s for under the DT and 1 Energy Bar 4 for my mixing area. I need to find a 50 foot USB cable for between these areas.

The EB4 will power a Mag 12 pump for mixing/transferring, a heater, and a Vertek 100 GPD RO/DI unit. I'm hoping to add a temp probe and salinity probe here later.

The 2 EB8s should be enough to run everything under the DT and lights. A pH probe, temp probe, and conductivity probe will be in the sump.

I will wire up my own cable as a breakout box.

Let me know what ideas you might have on switching things up.
