if you are just changing out the breaker from a single circuit to a double of the same amperage than no problem.

well I was original thinking of looking and seeing if I could put a bigger breaker acording to the wire size but now I am thinking maby I might just have to run another circut somehow.. my fish tank stuff alone adds up to 15 amps if everything is running at once so I just calculated

and if I install the two 250 watt MH I will be over.. sooo I need to now figure out how to run another 15 amp circut to that area so i can move all my lights off that circut.

I was thinking I could put a remote pannel in the stand (30 amp pannel) and just run a sub to the stand.. I am going to call around about that option tomorrow I think..
