907 Tank & Stand Build - 55 Gallon

@907_Reefer - where, in sunny FL, did they allow you to set up camp?

Oh we didn't ask any permission

Currently in the northeast/Jax/St Johns..

What are are you in these days?

Cape Coral. A bit of a hike from you. Thank heavens!

Little foreshadowing, getting settled at the new pad and got a 10' wall approved for the next tank

Early phases now, leaning 6', but could go to 8' if we get crazy. Bottom floor, concrete pad home. Need to review electrical requirements, yadda yadda. More to come....

Go 8. 6 isn't long enough. I wish I did.

My arm can be twisted

Going to start by adding 2 new circuits (?), got room in the breaker panel. I dont do electrical so will probably be tagging people like @tharbin for advice . GFCI, no GFCI, etc...

I had 2 extra run. One for upstairs (lights, and extras) 1 for everything downstairs (sump stuff and mixing station). None are gfi plugs but the circuits are gfi circuits.

But apparently it's "good" for running and jogging...

And exploding into flames,, they forgot that one.

I know electrical!! Available to advise

It's pretty easy to slap in a new breaker or two.

Run 2 20amps with GFCI outlets, separating the lights on a separate circuit from the rest of the equipment is best I think.

Dual gang boxes for both, use power strips where needed, or a nice control panel.

I dont know, I've seen your wire management...

Thanks Stoney!

GFCI outlets over GFCI circuits? Breaker panel is no issue to get to for resets.

I was reading one article that suggested auto-reset breakers as well..?

Lights on one circuit due to draw/wattage? Of course I dont have an equipment list yet for calculation. My first thought was to split equipment, if it fits with controller setup, half lights/pumps/heater on one and half on the other.

Ohhhh… I see how it is now. I tell you I’d be willing to lend a hand and get thrown overboard for the likes of @tharbin. That’s it, mister! No wiring for you!

But my panels are immaculate. nec is nec, you just need to know the codes to do it right.

I just wanted to get you fired up first.

Whatcha think of the plan so far Mr. @crusso1993 ?

That's it, when you're done- im sneaking over and ruffling your wires when your not looking. Mansgetti for you!

I'll mess em up a bit before you get here so you dont feel too bad

It sounds good. Just make sure to use 2 seperate 12/2 romex- cant use 12/3 for 2 circuits anymore(though it has been safe for many years. Just make sure they are on opposing phases(poles) in panel. I like gfci breakers as they protect the wiring and outlet itself also

This is what the work of a true master looks like people- soak it in...
