Hey everyone,
I have been business traveilng on and off since I put this post in, so this is the first I have seen it in the past several days.

Here is what i am doing.....I have a light switch right now that runs the outlet that I have the fishtank on. The problem with that is that my wife babysits little kids who like to flip lightswitches on and off. This creates stress in me, my fish and my corals.

What I want to do is add one or more fuses to the exising panel and run new line from the panel through the crawl space to the existing outlet, thusly cutting the light switch out of the equation and giving me juice to run my tank.

The light switch will then be wired to a ceiling new fan that I will be installing in the fish room.

My brother and I plan on doing this sometime this week.
