Ya electrical freaks me out. I’m sorry about your friend that’s hard. Here’s my box

I appreciate the feedback. Idea of this room is to be very simplistic, I don’t think I’d need much more. I even thought about cascading the rack so I can use one row of lights to light two rows of tanks

What do you mean by ground fault?

You think I need more than 35 amps total?

My detached shop has a 15 amp breaker from my panel off to it. I’m hammering out details for a small fish room. plan on running a 1500 watt oil heater, not sure on the actual consumption or how high I will need to run in a small room that’s 8x8 or smaller. Any idea what peak would be? additionally a linear piston air pump that’s about 45 watts and maybe 200 watts in total of cheap led fixtures. With the occasional submersible pump for water changes. will I need more watts? Can I just run a 20 off my breaker and run another line? What about a extension cord underground to supplement maybe just the lights and pump then put the heater or dehumidifier on the 15. ive even considered running a solar panel or two or even a solar tube or two for lighting. This is something of a budget build.

Thanks! Right now I haven’t narrowed down the actual foot print. 2 x 4 frame, insulated. Not sure if I will need to vent, wonder if a dehumidifier will be enough. Also I only have 15 amp breaker so I suspect I will need more.

Hello my name is Jimmy. Huge fan of the coop. I’ve kept fish for about 9 years. Currently in planning phase for a SMALL fish room, more than likely in my detached shop. I like Facebook but I know this forum will have much more value and it appears to be active. I have so many questions and ideas so I will probably need to start a separate thread I suppose. I plan to document it. I want to frame in a room anywhere from 5x9 to 7x8. Any suggestions on how to start a thread for it would be appreciated. Thanks fish fam!
