gcarroll's 260g SPS reef

It's coming along slowly. Electrical wiring and lighting first then need to convert from 100a panel to 200a. Flooring also arrives in a week.

100A for reef? YOUR CRAZY CHEF!

100A for reef? YOUR CRAZY CHEF!

No, the tank is not going to run me 100A. I just don't have an extra breaker to add anything else. The 100A panel is exhausted quickly with the clothes dryer, A/C, and oven. Adding the other thing would simply put it over the top.

 

[RamsReef]

Ahh I see you are just changing the panel, I thought you were upgrading your service to 200A haha.

Actually they are going to have to change the wiring coming into the house as well as it is only enough for 100A.

 

[RamsReef]

See so there you go lol. You are putting in a extra 100a for fish tank.

Went by the house today. Wiring for the aquarium outlets has been completed. Although it seems like it's going slow, realize that Theo whole house is being remodeled, not just this room. I'm shocked at how fast the remodel is coming along!

But if coarse the aquarium room is the most important in the house.

At least it's the only room you'd be interested in!

 

[RamsReef]

was this room an addition prior to your purchase? looks like different concrete floorings in there.

Glad to see you doing a new system. Best of luck.

Thank bud! There were no add-ons. The first pic if you look closely you will see there was tile. when that was demo'd there was a difference in elevation due to the mortar used for the tile. They later came in an ground away the mortar.

Went by the house today. On Tuesday the contractor told me that he was going to have the electrical panel upgraded on Saturday. But I guess today is Saturday!
