Need advice on Chiller setup

[coralGoodie]

I've finally got my new chiller from ReefGeek.com and wanted to ask you guys something. If I've set my temp to 77 deg., what would be the temp of my Ebo Jagger Heater? Should I set it to 75 or to 77 as well?

set your heater to 76-77 and have chiller come on at 78+or- a degree. That way when you hit 78 chiller goes on and off a 77

I would go broke if I set my chiller that low. Why so low? A couple degrees higher will save you a lot of money.

What do you think is the ideal temp setting? When I woke up th is morning and checked the tank, my heater is on (set to 76) and my chiller is cooling with a temp of 78.1 deg.
