I am finishing up a brutus build (2nd one I've done) and wanted to run some things by you guys for wiring up my panel. My build has 2 love controllers, 2 stc gas solenoid valves and 2 march pumps. The main power from the wall to my control panel is a heavy duty extension cord piece, 14 gauge I think. The stc valves use 18 ga wire, the specs on the march pump says 1.4 amps so 18 ga should be fine there as well. My question is about fuses. This whole thing will obviously be plugged into a gfci but do I need fuses in this panel? I didn't do it last time and never had a problem but that doesn't mean I shouldn't have had them.
Thanks in advance
 
add up the amps total. if it is under the breaker it is tied to, you are good.
and you do want the gfci considering you are pumping liquid. most are rated around 15a
