Merry Christmas everyone hope all is well.  
 
So I plan on buying and 68 gallon tank at some point. the dimensions are 48in long 24in wide and 14 in tall. I was wondering what heater I should get. and if one would be fine or two on each side?? Thanks

One is fine....two would be slightly better in some ways...but maybe not worth taking up the extra space unless the lower-wattage heater was significantly smaller in size.

 

Marineland or Eheim.  Just select the one rated as close to your tank size as possible.  Oversizing is somewhat dangerous.

 

Will there be a sump tank?  Or just a display by itself?
