Heater and controller questions
I am getting ready to order a heater and controller for my new build and was hoping to get some advice. I am looking for a very reliable and accurate setup. I have seen some heaters with a through sump mounting design, does anyone have experience with these? I have read this can help to prevent tank shock. Since i have been shocked by a few heaters in the past I want to make sure this does NOT happen again. I think a 150watt should be a good size for my setup. I would like to run two 75watt heaters instead of one 150 if possible, just for added fail safe. Can this be done with only one controller? And what does everyone think is the best on the market? Thanks in advance!

I am hearing better reviews from it, and it can work together with my vortech
