I use one for an 8 tub rack. An only one output from it. I have a herpstat 2. Wire all the different tubs to a powerbar an then to the thermostat. If u have a 2 out put one then u could always go half on one out put and half on the other. But i prefer to use the second for something else.. In my case my room heater. But u could use it on a light or another set of heating elements.. Such as an incubator. Each output is set individually
