Heaters

[AquaBarb]

Happy holidays folks

I have a constant question within my head about heaters for my tanks which id like to lay to rest somewhat..

1 heater or 2??

I have 3 tanks.....220ltrs/105ltrs/ 54ltrs which i run 1 heater in all. I know having 2 would give me more time to get a replacement if 1 failed but then if i had 2 heaters that would surely double the risk of 1 of them sticking on which is probably worse??

You could just keep a spare tested heater or two in a drawer.
Check out the Inkbird dual controllers on Amazon. I have these in all 3 of my tanks. This weekend I added a 2nd heater to each of my tanks. Now I am covered for almost all eventualities. I would need at least 2 things to fail at the same time for my tanks to get too hot or too cold (unless of course its the national grid ).

I actually left home this morning with the intention of making this post.
