did you do the electrical yourself? and what are the different parts of the electric you have shown us... I know what a plug is and I saw the switch for the light but what was the other parts???
Mike, I have 3 4 gang boxes wired up as follows (oh yeah desscription not in order of previous pics in post, reverse)
Box 1 has a main line in from the wall outlet starting out at a GFCI breaker. Also has a single switched outlet for my heater and a digital timer and outlet for my 12k day lights.
Box 2 has a main line from the GFCI in box 1 running a Digital timer and outlet for my Actinic Dawn/ Dusk Lighting and a Digital timer and outlet for my moon lighting.
Box 3 has a main line from GFCI in box 1 to a switch then 3 outlets to control my Eheim 2229 Wet/ Dry filter, 18 w UV light, FX5. In the spring I will also plug in my 2 B-11 air pumps incase of power failure (few and far between but does happen once in a blue moon)
I did all the wiring myself as I hate the use of power strips and this allows me to keep all cords dry and excess slack zip tied neat and out of the way. The 3 Way on the GFCI controls my 10 Gl. Fry tank that sits under the stand as I needed one extra outlet and I have to unplug and move the thing out to service my FX5 or Eheim also need a shoe horn as it takes all the space under the stand with those 3. My lighting schedule is as follows:
6 - 7:30 am Moonlights
7:30-9:30 am Actinic Dawn
9:30 am-7:30 pm Daylights
7:30-9pm Actinic Dusk
9-11pm Moonlights
11-6 no lights the fish seem to really enjoy this schedule.
