Dual Stage Chiller and Heater

I have a Current USA 1/3 Chiller that has a dual stage control. I will be using two (2) via aqua 300 watt titanium heaters. I also have the reefkeeper. What would be the best way to install these heaters since my chiller will only except one heater @ 300 watts max. for the chiller controller? Would it be better to run both heaters on the reefkeeper or one with the chiller and one with the reefkeeper? This is the only thing hanging me up from starting my new tank.

30 watts max thru the chiller should be self explanatory and you want to utilize 2x 300 watts. Is that correct? Answer can only be "run both heaters on the reefkeeper ".

I am sorry that was 300 watts max for chiller and yes I want to utilize both heaters since each heater is rated for 80 gallons and I have a 120 gallon tank with 30 gallon sump.
