Switches for the pumps


I'm running the small pumps (within 150-400 gph, Mini-jet 606 and Koralia1), on and off for a different reasons, not on timer, and for turning off I have to unplug it, to turn on again - plug in.

Mini-Jet - when feeding with filtering off, Koralia - when starts to rattle at night, and ASM Mini skimmer - for daytime only skimming (have to have some sleep, you know). So, some are with 3 prongs.

Is there inexpensive way to use some switches for this, one switch for one pump?
The only thing I could find so far - the separate power bars with switches, but each takes a lot of space, because they are made with 5-6 outlets.

Any ideas?
Trying to draw my reefkeeping on the next level

If you have a good place to mount it, these powerstrips are pretty popular. I've found them under another name here for a little cheaper.
