The gallon rating for heaters is dependent on the difference in ambient air temp vs tank temp. If the difference is too great, the size of tank the heater will adequately service will be reduced.

I’ve run into this several times. If you have a temp controller, I would go with two heaters. Otherwise one oversized heater.

FWIW I have three oversized heaters in my 60 gallon setup. Sump is in the basement so it takes a lot to keep temp constant.
