Hey everyone, I have been doing a bit of research on setting up my first saltwater tank.
I’m currently watching Bulk Reef Supply 52 weeks of reefering. The location I was looking at setting up my first tank was in my living room along a long empty wall. After watching the episode on electrical problems it dawned on me that I have tripped the breaker a handful of times in my living room area from vacuuming or plugging in a heater.
I also have a 2nd location I could use that is along another empty wall near the kitchen. I’m thinking due to the living room breaker already being tripped before and putting a tank on the same circuit that feeds the kitchen appliances would not a wise idea.
this leads to my question, what is my best option here? I imagine I need to bring a electrician out to help but what exactly should I have done? Do I require a separate circuit installed and wired to the living room to provide just for the tank space?
I don’t want to get a tank smaller than I had been hoping for but I’m sure if a vacuum can trip my breaker a tank certainly will
Thank you any advice is appreciated
