What do you guys think?

I want to add a chiller and sundpod lights for my 24gal AP. What do you guys think? I only have a little room behind my display and i dont know how big the chiller will be. I was thinking about getting the drop-in version but i want to see what you guys say is the best kind.

What type of lighting is best? I measured my tank from one side to the other and it measured 19 1/2 in.

Do you need a chiller? I have a 150w MH light on my 10g tank and keep it at a level 80 degrees simply by having a small fan blowing on it.

the chiller is gonna be way overboard for a 24 gal. I suggest going with the iceprobe chiller.
