Power Questions?


I live in an apartment so rewiring is pretty much out of the question... so do i just plug everything into a surge protector and call it good or what?

One thing I learned is to get the power strip off the floor. My salt water got in twice.

I have three power strips now just for the 55 due to all the lights and the moonlights and have them mounted inside the cabinet.
