    Is a chiller for a 29 really recommended for use in Utah? It gets to about 110 degrees in the summer but the winters are really cold too... would it be better to get a heater and a chiller?

    Depends on how cool you keep your house and your lighting. If you don't keep your house at 80 and don't have halides I wouldn't think that you would need one.

    There's really no way to tell unless someone on here sees this that has the same setup..so I would get the tank up and running and just find out how hot it gets. No sense in spending a ton on a chiller if you don't have to.
