I am in the process of installing powerheads, MH lighting, actinic lighting, and LED moonlighting.
I want the powerheads to be plugged into a constant power supply which isnt a problem since I will just plug them all into a powerstrip.
My decision is in the equipment I want to have ease of control over. I plan on having a switch for my MJ1200 powering my skimmer, my MH light, my actinic lights, and my led moonlights. Do I run one of these:

OR just get this:

With the first one, I would have to build a box to set that on as with the other I could just have hidden at the corner of the tank. The powerstrips are discontinued and I have only found one place to get them. I think after shipping I would end up having more money into the DJ controller but it would look nicer.
Opinions??
