Would I have to put in a separate breaker for the tank? (eventually) a
90g reef, pumps, skimmer, etc. MH lights plus any other lights I need,
chiller.
A chiller would likely draw as much power as everything else put together.
Concentrate on that first, to figure out your power load.
MH lights are second.
Everything else is in the noise.
on the same line (without adding a separate breaker) will be a computer,
lg. LCD TV, recorder, A/C.
A/C is air conditioner?
The electronics don't take much power. You'll have no problem with computer,
TV (esp. LCD), pumps, skimmer, lights, etc. on the same circuit.
But an air conditioner and/or a chiller is a different story. That's where
you have to watch your power consumption.
