I will be using a GFI outlet to plug in everything. I've read about grounding rods in the tank, but will kill everything in the tank if there ever is a short. I don't think I'll be using that. What about breakers in the panel anybody using a specialty breaker for water tanks? Or is anybody doing anything special other than say drip loops. Also what precautions do you take for a power outage. ie that nasty black out in 2003. Thanks again in advance for your input.

I think you are over thinking it.

Just don't overload your outlets and have drip loops.

Wouldn't be the first time i've heard that
Just stuff I've read and wanted to see what other people are doing. I figured I'd ask now before the tank and all the equipment come to my house.

Well Steve I appreciate your honesty

If I figured everything out correctly I'd be pulling alittle over 700watts,  and converting watts to amps it would be between 5 and 6 amps. I wasn't sure if I needed a 20 amp outlet for the tank setup.

Be careful what you divulge Steve, right now you are walking on clouds in the MCA with your tank builds.
