Electrical requirments

[millertime410]

Hi. I'm finishing my basement and planning new circuits throughout. Would I need 1 or 2 separate circuits for everything necessary for a 200-265 gallon reef aquarium I'm going to eventually have? Thank you for your help...Jim

I would dedicate one for lighting and one for accessories.
Not absolutely necessary but if you're in the process than it's worth it.

Two separate 20 amp circuits will be plenty.

Agreed. Those are essential with water around.
