Matt,
okay semi serious question: other than a chiller, do you need anything else on a coldwater tank that a tropical tank doesn't have?
I always figured acrylic tank with skimmer (optional?), canister filter, couple of power heads, maybe a fuge/sump, low lights. maybe a small heater just in case.
do you think a fuge is necessary in this case?

Well then. I dont really think that you need anymore than the chiller. In the case of a heater just unplug the chiller or you could end up turning your tank into a ice cube. As for the fuge I have never used one on any tank and I have never seen anything bad happen. About six years ago I had a 20 gallon tank outside that just had like three air stones and it never quit and nothing died... Sometimes having too much equipment can be overdoing it and unnecessary. Next question...
(ps: I really really really want a hooded nudibranch now
