I would ditch the powersweeps. I have 2 in my 58 right now and as soon as I added the rock and sand they quit sweeping. I know all I need to do is clean the gears, but its a problem Id rather not worry about. Im getting 2 maxi 900's tommorow.

sounds good too me, except why 2 heaters, i actually would suggest you to invest in a chiller, but i dont know how your weather is over in indiana, if its year round cold then i would say never mind

You run 2 smaller powered heaters so in case 1 would stick it wouldn't boil the tank, instead of using 1 big heater and if it malfunctions then you have major issues
