Sorry if the OP feels this is hijacking, but it's all sump related ----
Thanks J
I get that 'heater' comment a lot
I have 110g total water with 3 x 200w ( 5.45 watts per gallon ) on a Reefkeeper Elite set to 79f
Our house sits at about 68f when it's not warm out, and the 600 watts makes it easier to keep the tank stable
The other heaters are 2 x 250w on a Ranco set to 78f in case the RKE fails, or the 200w circuit trips the GFCI
If one 200w goes down on it's own, the other 2 can still heat the tank without too much work, and I'm not relying on 1 x 500w, or 1 x 1000w, that could fail and cause a crash
I'm all about backups and redundancy
With my heaters and chiller, and programming, the tank cycles between 79.0 and 79.4
