I use two outlets only because they are accessible where my stand and tank is. I use a surge protected GFCI power strip I got from office depot that powers my 2 powerheads, return pump, skimmer pump, and two heaters and fan for my T5's. The other outlet has the same power strip with a maxijet 1200, T5 power supply, and VHO ballast plugged in it. I'd say one outlet would be fine, but make sure you have a surge protected GFCI power strip that all your equipment is plugged into. I have my power strips mounted off the ground screwed into my stand legs so unless we have a 3' deep flood come through my house they should never get wet and have the chance of blowing a fuse, creating a spark or starting a fire (god forbid).

In addition, find out what else is on that circuit. If you are worried about wife or kids using the additional outlets, cover them with the safety plugs and dont use them.
By code, there are only supposed to be 6 outlets per circuit.
