Question - Do we need a chiller if we get Seahorses for the Red Sea Max?

We plan to make our newest tank (34g Sea Max) into a Seahorse tank.
I have read that seahorses are more fragile to parasites if the water gets too warm and I know the Red Sea Max does get hotter because of the lights. Do we need a chiller to raise Seahorses in a Red Sea Max?

I would say if you can keep the reef temperature constant that's the best way to go regarding whatever lifestocks you have; And certainly having the chiller is one of the best solutions ($$$$$) :). Another cheap way is to keep your tank down in a cool basement.
