I have a 210 that I just recently set up and I have a 300w and a 250w heater in the 75gal sump. I have the 300w turned up to 86 and I still can not get the tank above 77. Any advise on how to keep this tank about 79 or so?

I have a new Fluval 200W heater on a 46 gallon and at night my house gets to about 68-70 degrees. I had set it from 80-86 last night and in about 6 hours nothing happened, i woke up today and temp was 82. However during the day it warmed up easily as my house temperature is about 75-77, and maintaining the temperature is easier than climbing to it.
That being said, next time you do a w/c try using some hot water to put your temp up to what you want and see if your heaters will keep it stable.
