Hey guys. This morning I came downstairs and noticed my fish tank had no power. I immediately check the circuit breaker and flipped it back on. It must have tripped while I was asleep. Now everything is running again, but I’m confused as to what could have caused this.
The house is only 6 months old and the circuit is a 15 AMP. I admittedly have a lot of stuff in this office, but not everything was on like it usually is during the day. Therefore, I’m not sure what could have caused this.
In my office I have the following:
1 computer for security cameras - was on
1 desktop computer with 3 monitors - was off
2x varios6 return pumps
1 mp40
1 octopulse powerhead
1 Gyre 240
1 tunze nano stream 6055
1 300w finnex heater
1 150w cobalt heater
1 reef octopus regal 150
1 tunze ato
8x54w T5 - was off
1 48” XHO reef brite - was off
Usually during the day, all of these are on at the same time and I’ve never had any circuit trip. I do realize this is probably too much for one breaker though so I’m going to start moving things around such as the security camera can be moved to another room.
Any ideas of what I should investigate to figure out what the culprit is?
