Lower temp will give good health and colours.

Chiller is not needed actually..But make sure your tank temp is not above 28dg.. maybe you can switch off the light if you'r nt at hm...

mine is FOWLR no chiller not neccessary but can't raelly keep fish from those cooler water area like red sea cos water temp too high.

I used to have fowlr without chiller running at 29 to 30 degree with fan. But evaporation rate is terrible... You will be sick of topping up everyday. Now I have a fowlr with chiller set at 27.5 degree. I observed that the fishes seem to be happier.
