Nano chiller
My hose fitting broke off on my nano chiller. It has a 3/8 male threaded fitting to connect to. I have'nt been able to find any PVC fittings of this sort, so I installed a brass 3/8 female threaded to 1/2 hose. Will this harm my reef tank.? If so , what type of damage. Could some give me some idea's were to find the proper PVC fitting. Any help would be greatful. Thanks in advance, jim

Remove it immediately!!! Brass is an alloy of copper and copper is BAD.

If you still have the owners manual, it should have a parts list. If you dont try the manufacturer website and email them. If it came with the chiller, then you should be able to get it from them
