How long do u take to service? For chiller, I never service except clean the filters. I think it depends on the water capacity. Service of chiller wouldn't be more than 2hrs. U can observe your thermostat to see how long yr temp raises to estimate if there is a need to find alternatives to chill down the water. Else u can use those 1.5l soda drink bottle, fill with water n put in freezer. Once the water inside the bottle freezes , u can submerge them in yr sump.

Off your lights and cool down your water temperature 0.5-1 degC below your normal temp setting so you have more buffer time if you are worried.
