Depends on what your load will be.
I have a 2 hp chiller that needs it own 20a double pole breaker
3- 1K bulbs that each need a 15 a breaker (well at least in my mind they all should have their own)
4- reeflo pumps and 4 tunzes and a host of other small items that have 3- 15 a circuits as well.

So a total of 8 slots on the breaker box for a 600 gal. tank. The thing is I like separate circuits so if one goes down it only takes out 1 pump and some other item, I'd hate to have all my pumps on one and lose everything because 1 breaker tripped.
