Red face Biocube 29 HQI & Aqua Euro chiller set up

I wanted to pose a question to the community. I have just ordered a Biocube HQI 29 and have been concerened about the potential for temperature variance. I am thinking about ordering a Aqua Euro 1/13 chiller. I wanted to get your thoughts about running an Eheim canister as additional chemical and mechanical filtration then pushing the return from that through the Aqua Euro back to the tank. This way I get the pump plus the extra filtration. I will use an Eheim that will push at least 200 GPH up 5' to cover the flow needed for the chiller. Any thoughts on this????

Most would feel the canister to be unnecessary. With live rock and occasional water changes, even a skimmer is optional in that sized tank.

In our 29 HQI, just adding a small fan to the compartment over the pump was enough to keep temperature from being a problem.
