Not sure the size or layout of your system, or your electrical capabilities, but I would never use or recommend power bars. I don't have one in my system. Always use receptacles specific to the amperage of the circuit (15 or 20 amp being most common) and ideally locate all receptacles above the level of your water (sump) and away from splashes your main display.
Ideally use PVC receptables and conduit to run your wire through, metal can result in salt creep........unsightly and will have to be addressed eventually....my next system will incorporate all PVC receptacles and conduit becuase of the salt creep I am starting to see years after installation.
