Default Planning to start CRS tank

Hi i have been reading up on the CRS threads with great interest and hence I plan to start one, however as I am planning to start out with a 1 foot tank I am wondering do I need to get a chiller?
If yes could some one give me a rough cost of 1 as I have never bought a chiller before.

Many thanks

If it's only 1 ft tank, I think not worth it to buy chiller. Just use fan and begin with low grade CRS and invest a bigger tank + chiller if you want to keep high grade CRS

if you are still asking questions like these that means you have not read up enough.

I agreed to straight go for 2 feet since water/temp variation will be lesser with chiller and cannister filter, with 1 feet tank, for my case, I was killing the CRS even with two fans.
