![]() Already had the breakers plus lots of room in the panel so running 2-15 GFI breaker circuits, one for upstairs (CL pump, fluorescents) and second for downstairs equipment (main pump, skimmer) logic being if a one breaker accidentally trips, I still have some water movement. Have a third cct on a regular breaker feeding first a GFI receptacle then others downstream but main load is the MHs.
Other equipment such as pumps and heater for mixing water, datalogger, CO2 solenoid etc is also tied to the above GFI ccts where convenient. |

![]() Sorry...I ran 4 dedicated 15A circuits right from the main box to the tank room. At little planning on power usage helped me decide what to plug into what circuit so that if any individual circuit goes, it doesn't matter too much.
