Heater Question: One or two heaters?

250 Gal tank + sump: How many Ebo Jager heaters and what Wattage?

Which one:

1x 300W

2x 200W

2x 150W

Or a different suggestion?

I'd go for two at least. That way if you have a failure, you'll at least have one working heater.

I know you have a bigger tank but I keep 2 running in my 50. One on each side and the temp stays pretty consistent throughout the whole tank
