This may be in the wrong spot. And this is for those Electrical Geniousess.

I plan on putting a dedicated fuse in my fuse box for my fish tank. What size should I put in there.

My brother thinks on 20amp should do it......I am not sure as I think about all the crap I have plugged in behind the fishtank.

Mag5 (return pump)
PRizm Skimmer (soon to be TERM II)
little water pump in the sump
(2) Hydor Koralia #4
Current 265watt lights (3 plugs) - Sometime into the unknown future I will upgrade these, but it will be several years
40 lizard light for sump

I think there may be more but I cant remember what else there is. I konw i do not have a heater.
