what do u mean by enough ? if u keeping CRS , then chiller is good as they require lower temps ...

and if u use soil , then u can use it to cycle the tank for about 3-4 weeks before adding life stock , read FAQs for more info

In fact a tank and filter are enough. What kind live stocks are you eyeing? Shrimp, fish, type of plants? your lights and other stuff depend on that.
