Tunze 3155 ATO through Apex or no?

Quick question, I bought a Apex Lite here on the fourms over the weekend

Should I run the Tunze ATO 3155 through the Apex, or leave it separate

I'm using this exact setup and I have it plugged into the Apex power bar just for the ablilty to turn it off during weakly maintenance. Unless you have the salinity probe it really is overkill. The Tunze system is very reliable.

Ok, so just run the Tunze system off the Apex power bar. Rather then buying a break out box etc

So basically it's independent still, other then being plugged into the Apex power bar
