Power supply question

[Lady Hobbs]

My plan is to have two 75 gallons and one 55 sitting side-by-side in my living room. Each tank has about 5-6 plug-in's so........3 tanks = 15 things running off one circuit breaker including TV, phone, etc............eeewwww. I mean, this comes down to 3 wall plugs furnishing these 3 tanks and most likely all on one breaker. And then upgrades to lights=more wattage.

I'm wondering if it might be necessary to put in a higher output circut breaker to handle this. How much can you have plugged into one common house breaker without having problems with surges?

So far, my bedroom has 3 tanks, computer, stereo.. with no problem but they are my smaller tanks. No problem here.

youre good. Only in my basement, i have a freezer, washer, dryer, t.v, satellite, 10g, 2.5g, 33g, 20g, 20g, and the 20g toad tank running all with heaters, filters, and lights except for the toad tank, and the 10g salt has 2 powerheads too, and all is fine.

oh, and the salt tank has 3 lights on it, and the severum tank has 2 filters

Well, each will go on power strips so actually, only one plug in per switch but each power strip will have 6 plugged into that. Guess the best I can do is hope and if it's too much, pull the breaker and replace with a higher output.

Then sit and wait for my electric bill.

PS. Your dryer, freezer and those big items are probably on their own circuits and have nothing to do with light switches.

probably.

I have so many darn extension cords it looks like a factory
