heater in sump instead of tank

[salt life]

Quick question... I have a heater in each of my 75g tanks, both are 150watt.
If I put both of them in my 30g sump in the skimmer/ return pump section, will they heat both tanks or just make the sump really hot?

my heater is in my sump..it would heat everything since the water is always overflowing into the sump and being pumped back up to the tank. well i am assuming also this sump is plumbed into both tanks as well?

yes sir, both tanks are on one sump. but if I put both in the same section will it be like heater overload or putting both in the section will be ok?

it'll be fine, it can't over heat because they have a thermostat
plus with the constant flow it would be good to have 2 because 1 i don't think would keep up
