Breaker tripped

[Texreefer]

breaker tripped while i was at work today and the tank hit 90!.. should not be a big deal as it was only for a short time i'm back down to 85 and should be down to 79 by 1-2 am

hmm.. what caused it?

glad to hear everything is ok.

i think i have just enough stuff plugged in that when my pulse start balasts fire they cause a spike, i'm gonna try moving something to a new plug tomorrow and see how it plays our\t

I had the same problem after adding my chiller. Everytime it kicked on it tripped the breaker. So I just moved in onto its own circuit and havent had a problem since then.

yeah it needs to be on a different circuit or else you will just keep having the issue.

Yeah, I had issues with my two 400watt metal halides tripping the breaker every time they came on with my old 75g tank. Everything was on 1 circuit. I had to figure out where the nearest different circuit was and plug some stuff into it to balance the load.
