pvtdonut is an unknown quantity at this point
that is a great DIY, i have quite a clutter of wires on the side of my tank stand, i have like, 3 power strips in a bunch all powering my tank, which include:

2: 40 watt lights (main lights)
1: 20 watt heater (in sump, since no light is down there)
1: 110 watt heater (in DT, heating everything, since the small one is only made for 20 gallons...lol)
1: mag drive pump (not sure on the wattage of it, but its rated 700gph..)

and soon i will need make an outlet space for my 220 gallon skimmer.

also, these power strips are the source of power for my gf's 5.5 gallon freshwater tropical tank, which includes:

1: 20 watt heater (same kind i have in my sump.)
1: 16 watt 50/50 bulb (light for her tank)
1: no idea how many watts air pump.
and 1 aquaclear filter, for i believe up to 10 gallons.

also, these power strips include:

1: xbox 360
1: wii
1: 15" lcd/dvd combo tv thingy...
................

....yea..thats a lot of wires over there in that corner....im definatley considering building one of these and attaching it to my wall. i have the strips (very very safely) place on my floor, in a pile, under a Fluval canister filter sponge box (the sponges i use for my sump.) and under that box is another box from my ps3...lol its very save under there. the only thing thats potentially keeping water out from there is the 2 shelves where i have my dvds and the 5.5 gallon tank on.
not like i ever splash water out from that side, but maybe a fish will get angry cause i forgot to feed him and start spitting out water from that side........hey, im sure it happens.

=\ lol


and now im off to posibly buy a starfish. =] ttfn!

and thanks for the tutorial! will def be taking a trip to HD or lowes sometime soon. =]
