Yeah you certainly butchered that
If you haven't already you should probably check how many receptacles are on that circuit now, you limited to something like 12 (don't remember exact number) by code and lights count as well. So when you add one usually a good idea to check you're not adding one too many

Ya that was the first thing my wife said lol . It's already fill sanded and painted.
As for the load to the circuit breaker there is only six so I think I am fine .

Red face



Every time I move a tank I say to myself last time and some how it happens again. I have transferred all my corals and fish to the new tank temporarily . I removed all the sand from the old tank so I could take it off the stand and move it to the new location I think this spot will work great until my next big upgrade. Tomorrow I am planing on working on the new pluming and will do my best to redo all my wiring I will try to keep it nice and clean

I've got to agree with the dog pic
They either look guilty, or they are saying something to you about your build

Coming along nicely - good work

About your electrical;
Yes, 12 'sources' per breaker is the limit. They all count ... lights, outlets ...
This is code for a 15A circuit ( basically )

Would be best if you could find a way to run 1 or 2 new dedicated breakers for your tank
I have one 15A for my sump, and another for my tank
The pumps/heaters/controllers all run on one breaker, and the lights/vortechs run on the other

So this is what I have accomplished today I will plumb all the 1" pvc drain to the sump . I am going to run flexible 1"3/4 vinyl tubing from my two Eheim so if I ever have to work in the sump it will be easy to move them around
I spent $100 on fittings more than I need so I don't have to keep running back and forth to Home Depot . I am trying to organize the stand better so it doesn't look like a rats nest of wires. I am hoping to get the new tank up on the stand tomorrow if I can get a few guy together to lift it up Lots of fun. The fish seam happy and the tank look good half empty or half full however you want to look at it.
Fortunately I didn't have to much of a ammonia spike after my son urinated in the tank Time to hit a bottle of red .
