what are you running that you need 60 amps? and is that a 60 amp 110 breaker or a 60 amp 220?

You are confusing the issue needlessly. What Dave said is correct. Any real Electrician reading this would realise that it is uneconomical to attempt to get a sub panel less than 60 amps. You can go to any Rona or similar store, and pick up all the needed material, and have at it. There was a time when you could pick up a 30 amp panel easily, but I have not seen one lately.  BTW nomimal voltage is 240V  |
I am quite aware of that Bob, I was merialy trying to find out why you want to run so much power to a fish room. if I am not wrong will not a 240
60 amp breaker alow you to run 8, 15 amp 120 breakers? just seams like an awful lot.. as for the pannel yes it may be cheeper to get a 60 amp pannel but that doesent meen you have to feed it with a 60 amp breaker.. I would use a 20 amp 2 pole myself if it was just for a tank.. save about 65% on the cost of the breaker.
Oh wanna see a night mare come help with what I have to do so I can set up my hot tub
I have to replace my 125 amp pannel with a 200 amp pannel and have BC hydro upgrade my service to 200 amp.. then I have to get a 100 amp breaker to feed my 100 amp subpannel.. going to be a busy day
