Question AquaController Jr Owners

If you have an AquaController Jr set up on your tank, what kind of heater are you using? How many heaters are you using? What size is your tank?

Thanks

visa 200 and won pro 200, on a 90g with 40sump, probably overkill for wattage, but the reduncy is kind of nice

Thanks for the responses.

What do you set the thermostats to on the heaters to guarantee that they are on when the AquaController Jr tells them to come on?

Any other AquaController Jr. users out there?

Thanks
Brad

I have 1-300w via aqua titanium heater. I set the thermostat on the heater at 82, my AC Jr keeps the temp between 80 and 80.5.
