BEST advice is to get a controller i use a dual stage medusa but you could use a single stage if you only use fans, just hook them up to where the chiller port goes.
anyway you will hear many horror stories from people that wished they got a controller!
i will never have a tnak without them!

I prefer to be close to 78. That's where I keep it in winter. But I aim for 80 in the summer to reduce cooling expense.
If you do electronics DIY Skeletor has good plans for a temp contoller for your fans. I have yet to have my chiller come on since installing the controller and adding 3 fans. Today it was near 90 and pretty humid for CA.
