question about HQI lighting and temp

[krak256]

right now I have a 14g biocube and my temp is around 81 degrees. i was thinking about upgrading to a larger tank and perhaps getting HQI lights. The tank i was thinking about getting is the JBJ 28g HQI all in one. if I get that tank, will my temps shoot up, requiring me to get a chiller?

Also, since the JBJ has an open back filtration area, is it loud? the reason i ask is because i keep my tank in the bedroom.

any input is appreciated, thanks!

yes it will run hotter, few options, can get a fan to blowon it to help with temps, get a chiller or a ice probe, and no even with lid ff they arent that loud, but loud to one is quiet to another

i have the jbj 28 hqi.... its a pretty nice setup but there are others out there that are better... if i were to do it again i would have researched more.... and the temps get hot without a chilleri had to raise the hood 6 inches to stay around 80-81 any lower the tank just gets way tooo hot and it is also pretty quiet...
