Heating a 240

[FishMann]

I'm assuming 3-5w per gallon which is 720 -1200w. The room is unfortunately on the chiller side especially in the winter so I am aiming for the higher end. I am considering doing the 700w (2x350s) Helio and a 600 BRS (with inkbird). I'd like to compare the two systems but forget that.

Would it be more ideal or efficient to sub out the 600w for a couple smaller heaters?

Thanks

Nope, I think your plan is solid.

I prefer to use multiple 300 watt heaters. If one stops working the system isn't in danger and they are cheap so I keep extras.
If the power is off for any length of time in the winter you may need extras even if you have a generator if the inside temperature starts falling.

Thanks gentlemen! I'll start with these three and grab extras when there are sales. I wanted to have a few backups on hand anyway to replace or supplement.
