All (and any electricians),
I would like to have the builders of our home install GFIs into the wall
that my tank will be on. The wall will have to separate plugs, but right now
both run on the same circuit, along with about 3 other plugs. I am
contemplating having them run the two along the wall of my tank on their own
circuit. So the tank will have its own fuse etc. My question is this.
Do you all think that just running those two by themselves will be
sufficient, or should I run each of the two GFIs to their own circuit.
Another words, I could use one GFI for the lights, and it would be run to
its own fuse and then the other would run my pumps and chiller, and it would
be run to its own fuse. Advantages would be no power interrupt for the
lights when the chiller kicks on, as well as the ability to power off the
lights w/o powering off the pumps or vice versa. The lights would be getting
their own circuit. I am looking at running about 1500 watts of light over
about 200-225 gallons of water. If I share a circuit with the two of them,
would that overload it? The disadvantage of doing it is they are about 225
bucks a piece if I run each of them on a separate circuit. If it is
necessary, I will do it. If I can just run the two of them on their own
circuit, and will be just fine, I will go that route. Then they are $85.00
each.
TIA,
Shane C.
