Thread: New outlets

  1. #1

    Default New outlets

    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?

    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.
