I phoned the company that makes my chiller and they told me that most likely the fan in the chiller that keeps it cool stopped working. That caused the chiller to overheat continually and then shut down. When it would cool down, it would start up, overheat and then shut down again.....repeatedly.
My house was closed up over this hot spell and friends told me when they checked the house it was stifling hot. This, combined with my MH lighting caused the tank to heat so quickly I now have set up an external fan blowing into the chiller and it is working fine again. I guess it is Murphys law.......... the chiller worked fine for 2 years.... the week I go away is the time the fan decides to seize up. I hate this Murphy guy.... whoever he is !

Sounds like the same setup I have with mine. External fan, front panel off. In my case the fuse would just blow and end of story. I don't know which is worse.
Reef_raf had the same problem with his (fan stopped working) I think. Maybe he'll chime in here or you can PM him for a fix.

I third the not-so nice thoughts towards Mr. Murphy.
May I ask which tangs you had that survived?

Hey, to Jim or any other Calgary area reefers....I'd be willing to stop by anyone's home every few days while they're on holidays, to make sure everything is ok. It's not too much hassle, compared to the thousands everyone has spent on their reefs.
Perhaps a small frag could serve as payment

It was my Blonde Naso and my Yellow Tang that survived. I have had them both for over 2 years.

Tangs are surprisingly resilant I'm finding.
My regal was the only tang to survive all of the fish death that happened last week. I was wondering if there was a pattern in resiliancy or something.

Horrendous!
 I'm so sorry Jim. I'm away for 3 weeks too atm, but if there's anything I can do or help set you up with, please let me know.
