Rate my lights! Overkill?

[zheka757]

4 250w metal halides, 20k radions
8 54" t5 actinic bulbs
4 150w blue led strips
3 Chinese version of Kessels for sunrise/sunset option.
All this for 96x30x30 tank. Hopefully full of sps someday.

Build a lifting canopy couse this thing is like 100 ounds heavy.

Probably overkill, but hey - what do I know. Definitely invest in a smoke detector!

The electric company will send you a bouquet of roses.

No I have not taken par measurements, but very curious to find out.
No heaters needed, chiller maybe,

Are you opening up a tanning salon?

 

[zheka757]

Is it really overkill?

Came home yesterday to a 15amp circuit breaker popped, I guess this is to much for single outlet. Need to overlay a 20amp house wire to my tank.
