the switch box assembled...front view
note that I used double switches to turn on/off each separate outlet, instead of one switch like in the original model...

the black switch is a master switch. I can turn on/off the whole switch box with it. The first two outlets to the far left is the GCFI.
I will put adhesive tags to identify each switch with the equipment connected in it.

I violated the color code. But this is all I could find for the best price  ...Some hardware stores even wanted to sell a whole reel of green and black cable 
They thought I was in the building construction business...

testing the switch box...
did the test with various devices at once, and prior to that made a pass with a tester...
tested each separate switch, the master switch, and did the GCFI circuit test....passed!

Kewl, I have been looking at these and found some nice one with one switched outlet per unit. With that many outlets I might be inclined to split them in half and wire them for 2 seperate power cords, thence 2 seperate circuits

I'm want to work on a similar switch type setup, Altough I'm going to use IO controled relays. Tank will eventualy be computer controled, and will monitor itself. Waterlevel etc.
got idea for waterlevel shutoffs, Inlet and return sump. Temperature monitoring, not sure how to do PH etc. But also will have it send messages to my phone/pager warning of danger.
