Mine is set at 72. When the house warms past 74 I notice the tank rise. I have a 90 gallon with a 300 watt heater.

I would recommend getting two (2) 150w heaters. You need about 300w of heat. But getting 2 150w will be a security for your tank. If for some reason one of them malfunctions and breaks, you will still have some heat. And if one gets stuck on, then you are only heating with 150w instead of 300.

I run 3 heaters on my personal tank a (75gal with 90 gal fuge)

IMO 2 heaters is a great way for some security.

+1 great idea. I should do that too. More insurance.
