I am currently setting up the new 90 and need some advice.
I am running dedicated outlets to the wall where the tank is going to be located, but I need to know how much I should run. The tank will be 90g and run as a mixed reef with t-5 ho lighting. I have already purchased 2-20 amp breakers and plan on running 4 double outlets. Can anyone tell me if this is going to be enough? Or should I plan on running more?

sounds fine to, 2 20 amps for 8 oulets, 4 outlets per breaker, is kind of like what I got at home

good luck

Just be aware that many items when plugged in, will block other outlets. The WORST is X10 modules...

Thanks Jose and Bill.
I plan on spacing the outlets across 3 feet of wall and running some strips also.

I'd use GFCI's also, John.

where your tank. You might have to cut hole to go past the fire blocking.
