have been running the ra with 2 wp 40s since march love it.
got a bigger tank and now i wanna run 4 or maybe 6 wp 40's on it
ive maxed out the 2 connections on the power strip box, do i just add another power strip box to get 2 more connections (and gain 8 controllable outlets) or do i need some other add on?.besides the obvious more mp40s from roberto with cables.. sorry if this is a super basic question, once i set up the RA and wifi have not really messed with the RA, just let it do its thing... Thanks in advance.

i would think you could get a pwm expansion module and then you could add up to 6 more pwm channels which would allow for more wp40s. Roberto would have to confirm this because i haven't looked at the libraries that close lately.

Yeah, the dimming module would give you 6 more channels that can be used for pumps.

You would also need cables for each pump.
