This may be a stupid question, but how much equipment can you technically have for a 15amp, 20amp, and 30amp, circuit before its considered too much? Is it measured in watts or something else? I'm about to run a new circuit for my new tank and would like to know what size breaker/wire I need to add.
I also bought a very old (1900 build date with true 2"x4" balloon framing) house with knob and tube wiring. The only thing was that we didn't really know it had knob and tube wiring. The previous owners had the breaker box updated so from our inspection everything looked updated minus a few two prong outlets. Turned out they literally just spliced into the old wiring with the new wiring.
Luckily we were going to redo all the floors in the house, so I was able to replace all the old wiring by either pulling up flooring or running a fish tape through the walls. All in all, all those long and very sweaty days spent in the attic just means that I can sleep a little safer at night. Perk to that, is I now know 100% how the house is wired and can add stuff very easily. lol
