Electrical Question
Hi Travis.
Have you found an answer to your question?
I'm afraid that the dorks that responded were more interested in
showing off.
You really won't have to worry about power factor unless you've got
some really HUGE pumps on your tank.
Reply to this post if you still need help and I'll try to assist via

I am trying to figure out if need to add more outlets around my tank. In
the future I want to upgrade to MH lighting and was not sure if my current
set up would be safe adding Mh also.
This is what I have now and maybe you could answer my question.
I am currently using 2 outlets, both are on the same circuit. Icecap 660
with 440 watts of VHO lighting, mag 9.5 & 7 for tank circulation & skimmer,
200 watt heater, 2 maxi jet power heads and fan in canopy, & 2 other outlets
for my calcium reactor. In the future I will probably upgrade to 2 175 watt
MH with VHO. My question is would I need to add another outlet or 2 from the
breaker box to run all of this safely or go to a higher amp breaker.
Thanks
Travis
