28 gallon Nano Cube hqiand chiller


I am wanting to start a new tank and would like to get a 28 gallon nano cube hqi. I have read nothing but rave reviews about them, but the only thing that people mention is that you might want to add a chiller. Is it completely necessary to add a chiller when it has 2 fans on the lighting system? The only reason I ask is because I can't seem to find one under $300 and that just seems like a lot if it's really not necessary. Any help or info would be greatly appreciated!

sorry no answers for you, but here's the bump, anyway

Maybe someone can tell you if RO ice cubes or something would be good enough.

I'm not really one to talk to about this, but I have heard that temp management can be an issue with the HQI hood and the NC without a chiller..
