Need help badly...

Are there any electricians in the house??

I need to rob power from my Swimming Pool pump (Only logical place) to feed my 2 IceCap 250's and one 660 ballast... I've blown my breaker 3x a week now for the last month.. Something has to be done, otherwise I'm going to cause a fire..


I live in Arizona... Phoenix to be exact, and need someone..


Any help is appreciated..


Paul

Something we recently started doing to help out with the power crisis is to run the pool pump at night....any thought about doing that? That'll save some amps during the day.

When it is blowing? Light startup...out of the blue?

Unfortunatly the reef is on the same circuit as the other 1/2 of my house.. each 1/2 is on a circuit.. Upper and lower floors.. So.. I have 4 circuits total.. For lights/outlets in the entire house.. This being the problem.... It blows whenever I open a garage door, or try to print with my Laser printer...


What I wanted to do was to take a drop from the Pool Pump power block near the back of the house (About 25 ft from the reef tank) and give it it's own line of power not on the rest of the house...


If there's anyone in AZ that's willing to help me I'd be forever in their debt..
