Heater

Ok i've decided to go with the Eheim Jager Heater. My question is do i go with one or two. If one what wattage and if i go with 2 what wattages should they be?

I have a 120 dual overflow tank with a Trigger Systems 36" sump. Also would they both go in sump one on one as backup? Or one in sump and one in tank?

I would get two 200 watt and run them on a controler if you can

2 is better then 1 in case 1 fails you still have some heat.

and if it's get really cold and one can't do the job a second one will come on to help out.
Having them hooked up on some kind of controller like a APEX will or can save you lots of headaches.

Having a controller is a good thing. The thermostats on heaters tend to be inaccurate and tend to malfunction sometimes with catastrophic results.

Second everyone else's opinion. 2 heaters for safety and controller is best. If you don't have a controller, monitor your heat by more then just one method.
