My coralife therm also runs about 2* low.
As for the chiller Q... The thermostats in heaters are so cheap, I hate to rely on them, espically since your hooking up a chiller, you don't want them both to turn on at the same time for sure. So, Id get a Ranco temprature controller, one that controls 2 items, one for the heater, and one for the chiller, this way the thermostat would be the same for the chiller and heater, and it would never let both run at the same time. Good luck!
