Biocube people, do you run redundant heaters? I did in my larger display but after moving to the cube u have only run 1 in my 32. My question is, what size tank are you running and what size/amount of heaters? I'm contemplating getting 2 75 watts or maybe 2 50? I only use eheim. Right now I'm running 1 125 that I pulled from the main DT last week.

Thoughts??

I don't have a biocube, but I've always advocated when possible, using two smaller heaters. The size you need, do know. Let's see what others are saying.
 
I don't have a biocube, but I have a 25 gallon lagoon. I do use two heaters. One at 150 watts and one at 125 watts. The larger one is on a controller and the smaller is for safety fallback.
 
In my 37 gallon I have a 100w and a 150w and in my 10 gallon coral/invert QT I have two 50w. Both sets are controlled by Inkbirds.
