    Can you add extra power bars to the Reefkeeper Lite 1 basic model. It only comes with one bar usually but I would need at leat 2 bars if not three and I don't want to pay for the Reefkeeper Elite of Lite 3.

    Is this the product I would buy to add more outlets to the RKL 1?

    I believe this is the correct item based on my research, but I have not purchased yet, so I cannot confirm.

    Yea the PC4 is your power strip which adds outlets to your whole system. Each outlet is programmable. However, remember that with the RKL you can only have a maximum of 4 modules. So you probably already have the SLI (systems lab), and 1 powerstrip. So you have two modules, remember you can only get 2 more.

    Really i though that you could have up to 4 PC4 and then the others? I have a RKL plus and have 2 SLI plugged in.

    OP why would you need 3 PC4 strips thats a lot of things to plug in?

    Why do you need two SLI's???

    I am almost positive you can have at most 4 modules and the PC4's each count as a module.

    Any off those 9 things that you would suggest to just plug into a wall socket to save the need for 3 power strips?

    Depending on what and how you top off, you may have a purpose in controlling the ATO. The return and the skimmer don't really benefit from it though. If there's a reason for controlling any of those, let us know. I'm always curious about setups.
