I run a $10 sump fan for cooling, keeps mine 3 degrees cooler.
I keep 4 100 watt heaters in my sump year round controlled with a Reefkeeper.

I need to make a trip to the store, a fan and controller are in order. Tank temp today is lower but it's cooler outside. Adding equipment seems never ending...lol

I'm out of plug ins....ugh

most of the better aquarium controllers come with a power bar......I just have a relatively inexpensive Aquacontroller Jr that controls my lights(for the time being) my refugium lights, my heaters and fan....a controller goes beyond just turning things off and on.....mine is set so that if the tank goes above 80 the heaters shut off and the fans come on.....if the tank gets any hotter then 82 the controller shuts the lights off.....

Thanks For the info Doug! I'm just using regular power bars, each has 6 outlets and they are all full. I know I need to improve or better safeguard the tank.
