Having 2 heaters saved me today :/
 
So glad i took the advice of many reefers to buy two smaller heaters instead of one large heater today. I got a email while in architecture class from my apex saying its temp was low by the time i got home it was at 74.5f. My second heater had kept it somewhat warm where as if i only had one my cold basement probably would have dropped it to around 65-70 degrees. I hope this helps some other people out. Its always good to be proactive instead of reactive :)

I run three heaters each capable of heating my tank so even if one dies, I will not see a significant drop.

I run 2 heaters; each one is capable of heating the whole tank. They are set for 78 and 77F. Temp is just too important a param...

run 2 heaters as well and each individually would maintain the temperature

Hmm mybe I should rly consider using more than 1 heater as well. I'm just scared they don't turn off n cook everything fast

Another reason to hook them up to an Apex.
