Hello again...Sorry I am a posting ninja but I recently started building a 150 reef setup so I come across new questions every few minutes it seems. I see in several stands a switch panel that people use to control each specific piece of equipment. My question is does anyone know the dimentions of the panel and/or where to get them. Thank you again!! Btw, I just finished skinning my new DIY stand and I think it looks great. Thanks to all of you who post your ideas and artwork on here for us people with 2 left thumbs and no wallet...

do you need anamerican dj power strip or any other control panel if you're planning to buy an aquacontroller or similar?

You likely would not need it with a controller. But then again you could always find a use for it.

I use them and I have controllers. Very, very handy, enough so that I have six of them in sizes 4 plus to 8 plugs.

The american DJ panel, usually have a bunch on Ebay. Also you might want to consider investing in a good controller like the aqua controller JR. It is nice being able to control even the basic functions without worry like the lights and temperature.
