$375 I think.
I suggest doing the mesh mod and adding a 2nd air intake on the venturi. It's getting me a gallon a week out of mine. Of course, I feed 4 times a day.
[/QUOTE] Yeah I would like to mod it. I saw some different types of mods awhile ago but can't remember where. Do you have a set of plans for that?

Wow thats quite the lists of parts you got there. A dedicated breaker box to boot, wow do you need that many outlets just for the Tank? I'm using just two outlets or two 15 amp breakers for the whole tank. The elecrtical company is going to love you.
Tell us what's up Tim!

Well the two Quad boxes are going into the garage for power tools and Christmas lights. Each quad box will be going to it's own 20 amp breaker. The other 8 duel outlets are going to the tank on the sump wall. 4 duel outlets times 2 will each have their own 20 amp breaker.
I have 5 timers that take up a lot of space and will need to get 3 more for the 90 to run all the lights. Those eight timers will take up the bottom row of 8 outlets. The top row of 8 outlets will be more than taken up with pumps, power heads and fans. I may even have to throw a power strip or two on a couple of them to get everything hooked up.

Sweet Tim, I assume that yo've run a load calculation. I'd hate to see you do all that work and have trouble.

I did some wire routing tonight and got the wires mounted from the outlets to the sub panel which was also mounted. I had to use a router and cut a groove across the 2 X 4 studs to run the wires in and covered them with nailer plates.
Here is the space to the back of the sump wall.
Sump wall with outlet box cutouts.
Sump wall with outlets & timers mounted
And with faceplates on. I didn't know the GFI faceplates were smaller than the regular outlet plates until I saw the picture.
With a little luck it will be all wired up tomorrow.

Thats good, i hope you two get done early so Tim can go to denver with us. If it's just me and the girls I can be guaranteed no fish stores and resort to sleeping in the car all day.
I love those timer/receot. combos. I can wait to see them and I want to re-do mine like that when I get the 1K ballasts. Problem is the 1K ballasts are 230 or 240 volt and I might have a hard time finding those in that volt range.
