how many electrical plugs for your tanks?
 

How many electrical plugs do you use for your tanks? Please list tank size and how many plugs.

20g: 5 plugs
90g in planning: 9 plugs

Thank goodness for powerbars!

150g 12 plugs used + 2 powerbars.

Currently I have 23 devices running my 280g spread over 2 circuits.

Thanks goodness for friends that are electricians!

My present count is 21, over three circuits for a 265.

lol this is by far one of my most favorite topics. Well... I have two tanks that share the same sump so I guess they count as one. Therefore I've got twenty devices between two powerbars and two circuts for my 270gal system and five devices on one powerbar for my 30gal system. However if you want me to count actual 'plugs' then I have thirty for my 270gal system and seven for my 30gal. I wrap little paper tags on nearly all of the plugs naming what device they go to in order to limit the confusion.

Two 90's
Two power bars each tank.
Just for fun two dual timers for each tank.
Ten plugs for each tank right now.
If not more in the future.

One ten gallon
One power bar.
One timer.
Three plugs.

Think GFI before something happens

fencer no worries all tanks on seperate breakers.

I started counting ... and wow, quite a surprise :smile:

I have 37 plugs for my 375 gallon tank (500 gallons water counting sump and refugium) and another 16 plugs for separate support systems (QT tank, salt mixing, feeder shrimp tank), all on 3 dedicated 15 amp circuits.

Lots of revenue for BC Hydro ...

Pansy-Paws nice! Way to keep the economy going! :razz:
