![]() Tony how is the room ? I mean what is on the outside walls of it. you could always put it on a outside wall and make a simple little cabnet for it to dress it up.

![]() When I was planning my fish room had grand plans for a subpanel.
Similiar to you, had room in my main to allow for the fish circuits and still have spots left to develop basement, so thought why bother. It might have looked cooler to have a sub but electrically, function is the same just using main. Terminated the receptacles first, run the wires back to the panel, had everything ready so power was probably off less than 1/2hour to install the breakers (couple GFI) and hook up. I'm still able to turn of circuits separately for maintenance and expansion. |

![]() true true
![]() the safer the better in such a humid environment (fish room of course, not calgary.lol). i would treat it the same as an outlet by a sink or bathtub. im sure the electrical inspector would realize the attempt at keeping it safe ![]() im lucky where i live. i know the inspector quite well and he is pretty relaxed about most stuff because he knows i dont do half assed jobs.lol |
