Why do you need an eletrician? just run some 12/2 to the panel with a gcfi breaker and cut a hole in the wall stick a remodel box in and your good to go!Here's the one I made.****

Thank's I made it because one day my wife who rarely helps me with my tank decided to clean the inside of the glass of the tank and her elbow touched the light reflector and blew her off the chair, that scared me into designing this panel, it has three 20 amp gcfi breakers one for the pumps one for the lights and one for my inline chiller with pump. this should be the most important piece of equipment you own. by the way your quote is my montra I tell my wife that she's my aquarium sugar moma.

How do you keep all those timers on schedule?
I hate those because they never keep time very well
