I appreciate the input on brands, models, and controllers. All of these experiences and insight help a lot.

Any confirmation on the use of two 150s or two 200s for my 90 gal?

Ok, so for my 90 gallon, are two 150w sufficient or should I have two 200w? My room temp is fairly consistent around 70 deg. and both will be in the sump.
