Tank wiring

kayaker97321 · 01-21-2005, 12:50 AM

What do you think of my idea for my tanks rewiring?

The switches are Single Pole Dubble Pull so that I can bypass the timers if I need or want the lights on for some reason, and by having the timers before the switches they keep time no matter what happens with the switch. The status LED's are going to be mounted on the panel with all the switches. More of the system wiring to follow.

Looking for some input.

Thanks

Tyler

Here is the second part. I just finished up with the plan for the Return, Closed loop, Ca reactor, and skimmer.. That leaves the Phos, Carbon, sump/refuge light, chiller, heater, ocean motions, and topoff.. And anything else I come up with.

Looks great - a lot of work thought. On my times there is a switch that can over ride the timer - so IMO that extra switch is not needed if you get the same kind

Charles. I am going to remote mount all the timers and such out of the way. So I have to go this route.. I want everything so I have it on one central control pannel.

Usually 2 reasons for DIY $ or the challenge

Oh, I see said the blind man.

That'll work, just make sure that there's no chance of water splashing onto them.

Don't I have to get a bunch of x-10 mods to make it work?

I was planning on using the Chemical Grade switches..
