Was just talking about this with another member tonight. Neither of us do this, but both our tanks stay reasonably warm with much smaller heaters. I just plugged in a 200w the other day, but had no heater on the 210g reef all winter. The corals & fish adapted to a slightly lower temp.
She uses a 300w heater with no problems.
I think just cutting up thick styro sheets & duct taping them to the sump would cut down on the heat loss tremendously.
