For all you big tank owners, what heaters do you run and do you put both in the sump?

I think @billyocean mentioned you do one in the display for redundancy purposes.

BRS has their titanium heaters on door buster so I'm trying to figure out what I need for the 200g. Will 600w be enough and what configuration?

Just ordered a 600w this morning for my 180. Going to hook it up on my apex system. Currently running a 300W in the sump and rarely ever need it

Per Billy's advice I went back to Eheim Jager on a controller for my tanks. Dual heaters in the sump.

2x 300w on Apex in the 230
2x 300w on Inkbird in the180
2x 150w on Inkbird in the 60

I replace them every year. They are relatively cheap and accurate. Using their internal temp settings as a back up to the controller provides a redundancy that I did not have with the BRS Titaniums.

If you are set on titanium hit me up. I have 2x600w used and 3x300w new sitting in a box marked "stuff to sell".

I use 2x 350 Watts each on its own controller for redundancy in a 180g system and both in sump.

2 of those 300w are fine for my 300. I use those titanium ones with an inkbird controller. I don’t run one in the display.

I use two 400W heaters in my 450, in the sump. With all of the equipment, you will likely see it sustains temps on its own pretty well.
