It shouldnt be too much light. I'd wait on the chiller till you see how it effects your temperature. If your temp does go up, you could try a small fan blowing at the water surface. That should drop your temp by a few degrees. You'll just have to make sure you keep up on your top offs.

Could you direct me to where I could find such fans? I have heard of these and am having trouble finding them
