yup. 3000 rated watts just for my halides. but what I did was put each 1000w halide on a seperate circuit with other small items. I have 2400W of heaters, multiple blowers, an Alita 100, several accessory pumps, Hammerhead return, 5 Vortechs, IceCap 660 for fuge lamps, lamp movers, etc. etc...the fact is I built my system specifically for reduced electrical consumption, but ran wire for a less efficent rating to have plenty of excess. As it is, I am always adding new stuff, tanks etc.
Since I had the wall out, I decided to run double my calculated need. It had to be done anyway, so why not run the extra wire? Actually, it's just heavier gauge wire, so the work involved was the same. I also ran RG11 into the wall for future entainment purposes.
