Dual heater placement?

[Nickmag01]

I have a inkbird temperature controller. Can i run 2 heaters right next to eachother in sump if temp probe is in a different chamber? Or do heayers need to be on opposite sides of sump?

We use an inkbird controller as well. Our temp probe is located in the skimmer chamber & we have 4 heaters in the return chamber. The temp holds between 79 & 80 degF. We ran a second temp prob in one of the overflow chambers of the display for 3 months to ensure the temp is evenly distributed across the system.

I would avoid a heater in the first chamber (upstream of the temp prob) as that might not give you a reliable indiciation of what is happening in the display.

Thanks for the input. I will run the probe in return chamber, I like the added redundancy of the inkbird controller.
