It's probably 20 amps at the most but more than likely 15 amps. You need to look at the tags of everything our gonna use and add up all the amps. If your number of amps is under the size of the breaker your golden. Good luck2 bed 1 bath not sure on breaker will hopefully get the papers signed tomorrow and start moving around the 1st. It's a bedroom I plan to grow in if that helps

Not to mention your landlord will probably trip on the high bill. I'd say I have a shitload of reef tanks if he asks. You might want to mention it first.
I avoid using aquariums as my excuse. I can call enough close friends for computers and xboxs not aquariums though and I'd be more worried about trying to explain there absence during a dreaded walk through
Good point I kinda feel like an idiot for not even thinking about that.Even if the meter combines all the renters, your landlord will know the diff started after you moved in, be careful.
I'd double or triple that $50 a month for a couple lights...I'm guessing your not in cali with that dirt cheap power....I run 4 600's on 12/12 & 2 400's (veg) & my power bill (plus 3000 sq ft household, with 6k watt sauna that I use every night) is about $360 TO $400 per month. Before I was growing, the bill was about $90 to 100 per month. Na, he will never notice lol.
It just doesn't sound like a good situation to me.
Also a 20 amp breaker isn't enough for 4 600's @ roughly 5.6 amps apiece + fans. Electricians recommend a 80% rule of full amperage use. For me with that much power, I hired an electrician/friend to give me a 220 outlet with a 60 amp breaker. I use a 220v powerbox with 6 timed 10 amp 120v outlets, with a built in digital timer & and 2 outlets of switchable power.
I would say run only 2 lights, you can run 2 600's off a normal bedroom 20 amp breaker with no prob, & will only shoot up your bill $50 or so a month.
Yea your probably right, I don't know what I was thinking, 2 600's would run close to $100 per month, and the landlord will want to know what the hell your doing in there. (no I'm not in Ca, but I have been there once)I'd double or triple that $50 a month for a couple lights...I'm guessing your not in cali with that dirt cheap power....
