Yea the thread went a little sideways here was my pick and I got two just in case

What region of the country do you live? Even though I live in sunny Florida, we do not run the heat when it gets cold. I have a 80 gal water volume system and the 300w would not keep up on the cold days. I switched up to a 500W finnex and the temp stays steady on cold days. I will getting another for backup but the finnex heater for myself have been solid using with the apex. FYI, make sure the heater switches off during water changes, before I added switched I almost burnt up my sump when there was do water in the sump I was distracted

I live in Long Island... not sunny California but gloomy NY... I bought 2 300w Finnex... one as a backup.... should I leave them both in the sump? Or one dry in case one fails? My house is usually 68/72 degrees.
