 Topic: electrical help needed
Posted: April 25 2007 at 6:33am |

Are any of you licensed electricians that could give me some advice or
a estimate on a sub panel for my new 210 gal? That are familiar with
power requirements for all the equipment I will need, I have a good
idea of things i will need with GFI breakers but things like amp's and
watts I will need help with and the right Gage wire. please feel free to
call or pm me, I live in Kearns.

Ok thanks for the help. How do I determine what I need for brakers, as far as AMP 10 15 20 25 ?????, and the gage of wire 12 or 14. I am going to install new brakers in my main panel and run dedicated line(s) to my 210gal, with GFI receptical at the first of each line, and no I do not know at this point how many watts I will be running. thanks again.

I don't have a license, just an opinion. I would go with at least two 20 amp circuits 12 gage wire. I would put a pump on each circuit so if one went down you would still have circulation.

What the heck are you planning on running? 90 amps is about typical for a house service.
