Sorry phil missed the question on the heater type. Right now I am using a 200W and a 150 watt heaters made by elite. These seem to be working pretty good for me. And they were on sale at a local fish store near me.
On the broodstock setup, I have a 200W fluval heater and a 150W elite heater. I also have a few backup heaters in the 150W and 200W range just incase of a heater issue. I will be putting these in each of the sumps on a lower temp turn on range just incase of one of my working heaters fail. This way, I have a backup. I may also get a controller with a warning signal when the temp gets too low.
