Electrical Upgrades

[FishMann]

In preparation for the 240 which should be delivered sometime in April, I am putting in three new outlets on a dedicated circuit. Two near the floor for the sump and one near the ceiling for the lights. There is already one outlet by the floor but the circuit that it is on is pretty full. These four outlets will be GFIs as well as the new circuit itself.

I'm not really sure if there is anything else that can be done. Is there?

Thoughts on the outlet for the lights? I don't even have lights picked out yet, but I think I they will be suspended from the ceiling. My hope is to make the power cords as invisible as possible. The tank is euro braced. My unresearched assumption is suspension is my only option.

Thanks
Other pre projects include swapping out the sink in the half bath around the corner for a deep utility sink, (Somehow I am still in a relationship after that proposal) and setting up my RODI system in the coat closet. (Again, she remains oddly supportive)
Stay tuned!

I’m in process of finishing my basement and upgrading to a 150. I ran 2 dedicated 20 amp circuits (yes, I like overkill) for the tank.

I put in 20 outlets split on 2 circuits and needed more. Some in the fish room and some behind the tank.
There are also outlets on the original basement circuit I can access. The lights and wave makers in the 180 are on that.

The lights alone on the 240 on the left have a total of 10 power cords
2 return pumps, 2 heaters, manifold pump, skimmer, fuge light.
Plus I have a sulfur reactor, ozone, 2 dosers, Hydros controllers, wave makers, Pump on mixing station and probably some I forgot.

More is better.
I installed the outlets higher so anything plugged in forms a drip loop.
