Chiller went crazy!!

While at work today my chiller didn't shut off, now the aquarium is 66 degrees. Should I try to bring the temp up quickly or slowly? I just recently set the tank up and only have live rock and three fish in it.

bring it up SLOWLY. they are already shocked from the drop in temperature. they need to reacclimate to the temperature as it rises.

how big of a tank? what kind fo chiller? what kind of fish?

Yikes, 66! You need a better temperature controller! Fish are pretty hardy animals, I'd bring it up to 75 then to what ever temperature you want to keep the tank at.

The chiller is an Aquanetics drop in, Tank is a 125 and the fish are one yellow tang and two perk clowns. Chiller ran no stop for 12 hours

They all are seem to be fine, swimming a little slower than normal but they all came to the top at feeding time. Since it's been so warm, I didn't have the heater plugged in. Now I've got two bringing the temp slowly back to 78.
