Well I have a couple tanks near each other with some plugs coming from different outlets and sorta crossing over here and there. It definitely has that electrical fire waiting to happen look. :D

Anyway I think it's 14 plugs total. A more detailed count would require getting up!
 
What I'd like to know is how you handle all that electrical under the stand. All mine are plugged into a power strip next to the tank with a rats nest of wiring... Definitely not the way it should be done

I ran some cross boards under the tank in the stand and hide the rats nest up in that "overhead". All you see is cords going up out of sight in the "rafters" and coming down to the devices.

night light
tank fan
heater 1
heater 2
STC 1000
heat probe
Vortech MP 10

ATO sump level switches
in stand work light
TDS meter 1 to tank and raw city water
TDS meter 2 to change water trash can and pre-RO
in stand fan
and 3 two gang light switches controlling 6 four gang wall plugs - with all that other crap plugged into them
