Hi,
i've got an idea, to sort out wiring for my aquarium which i'm about to move from my mum's to my house.
i want to make it on it's own circuit from my consumer unit, regular rin main circuit, except i don't want it on an RCD at the consumer unit. i ten want to plug into a double socket (or wire it up in some way to handle all the load at once, and i don't think one 13A socket would be enough) and wire in another consumer unit, with rcds for each individual thing. i want the lighting to have an rcd and a timer, which i understand i get as a rail mount unit and keep things neat, i want the pumps on an rcd, with the main return pump from the sump on its own rcd and the internal circulation pumps on a separate one, and the heaters on another rcd.
is this feasible / safe / likely to be allowed?
i'm in scotland, would i need a building warrant / whatever to do this?
