This mourning my chiller controller said 106 but my digital themo. said 72. The controller is all messed up reading the wrong temps. then over chilling the tank. What should i do? Its a customesealife chiller and controller.

Your chiller may need repaired, or may need cleaned. I would contact the manufacturer asap. I would also recommend unplugging it so your temperature can come back to normal temperature in the tank.
Best wishes,

yes i unplugged it, why does the chiller need cleaned or repaired? Isnt it just the controller that needs to be repaired?

If there's a temp probe or membrane, you may want to try to soak it in vinegar to clean it. That will be the safest way. Again, living in FL, just unplug it and let it warm up to 78 or 80! Just don't let your MHs boil your tank! Good luck.

Yeah, i let it heat up and have been manualy turning off and on the chiller. What fun

For the time being, could you raise your MHs to a height that equates to about the correct temp? Just a thought!

any chance the controller got wet? Regardless, you could have fried one of the circuit borads. I have a Medusa controller (peice of junk) you'd think for the money they would be good. I replaced one of the circiut boards, twice, its still a POJ.
Ohhh, isn't custom Sealife out of buisness now? Who did you buy the chiller from?
