chiller needs fixed, where to go?

[dmilne85]

In the process of moving from AZ to Pa my chiller took a spill in the back of the uhaul when unloading it and i need to see if i could get it fixed. im not sure what needs to be done. does anyone know how to or know where i can go. (appliance & refridgerator store?) and know first hand if they would be able to fix something like that

also i just got my tank cycled and all set up (minus getting my temp down) and im looking for some cheto for my fudge and would love to find someone willing to get me a chuck locally. (fox chapel/aspinwall area) or maybe get some at the meeting tomorrow if i can make it.. but im not 100% sure i will have time.

Thanks in Advance!

i should add that its a drop in chiller. not an inline one... so i think its pretty simple... seems to have the same components a fridge does... just shoots it through the chord and into the titanium rods...? no thoughts or experiences?

What kind of lights do you have?

You may find that you don't need the chiller here.

right now i have (2) 250 watt mh, and 4 overdriven t5 attinics under my canopy. i have a decent sized fan that kicks on when the controller hits 78 degress but it will keep climbing to 80. my main concern is that after lights go off, tank drops to 75, i even saw 74 one day. so its the lights alone are raising my temp significantly. if i run a heater at night and keep it from droping so low during the day my tank will hit 82... its really strange considering i dont have many pumps and the lights are pretty high up in my canopy and i have decent water volume.
