I'm redoing my electrical under my tank because I'm tired of all of the power strips. I was hoping that some of you wiring experts can show some pics of your set ups to give me some ideas, thanks!

Hehe, you don't want to see mine, trust me. 2 dedicated 15a outlets for 4 MH plugs and 2 PC plugs under the tank. Downstairs... phew, 4 dedicate 20a outlets for the three pumps and chiller and heater, plus one 20a outlet for the skimmer pump, pH controller, Nilsen reactor pump and switch, Ca Reactor pumps, etc., all spread out over a 10'x2' area.
