Re: Electicity Question

I also don't like to have all my eggs in one basket. I was fortunate enough that the previous owner of my house had two 200 amp breaker panels installed. I have the pumps split between the two.

If your one breaker trips, for whatever reason, you're tank is dead in the water (so to speak) until you reset that one breaker. I'd run two 20 amp lines from your main breaker panel and split at least the pumps up between the lines. It's most likely overkill but eventually, you'll end up with thousands of dollars worth of animals in your tank.
