Power Outlet in Apartment
Many of us prefer to use multiple circuits for our tank items for obvious reasons. However - in the case of an apartment where that's not an option - what is the best scenario?

Do you have 20 amp breakers? I have my 75 gallon on 1 circuit. It once had 250 watt mh mag5 300 watt heater and 2 koralias. I read the amperage at the breaker it was around 13 amps which is fine on a 20 amp breaker. You don't want to use more than 80% with full load. Now I have LEDs and jebaos so I know it's lower but haven't read it since.

There are NO options to add additional circuits in an apartment.

I need to double check if it is a 20 amp circuit - I hope so.
I do like those DJ power centers. Remind me of the GFCI strips (maybe a link to a good one)?
