Heater suggestion for a 90g

[Hcuervo]

I just got an Aquacontroller III and now I need a heater for my new 90g. I have read several places that the suggestion is to go with two 250W heaters in case one goes. What do people think? Should I go with one 500W or two 250W? And what is a good source for heaters without a controller. Amazon sells the Finnex Titanium heater... seems good.

I use two eheim-jager 250w heaters on a 75 gal with sump and an apex controller. A safety trick I found with some research is to set the heater(s) to shutoff a degree or two above the set point on the controller so if the controller temp gauge sticks to the on postion the heaters wont keep heating away. The heater temp gauge acts as a backup to the controller.

I just realized I typed 2 250w heaters, I meant 2 150w heaters.
