Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

Hi,

Thank you for sharing your DIY method, just picture only still not so clear to explain the

idea. U try to use heat exchanger method that borrow from computer cpu right? Here i have

few serious concern regarding the method i am not sure your alluminium heat sink touching

the water or not, if YES ;-) the alluminium will pollute your tank water especially for NANO tank and after one week of use the heat exchanger will not so efficient due to cover by the detritus film from your tank water and that's is why we try to use RO water for our computer water cooler system and car radiator. If your answer is NO :-)you can try enhance the system by replace the heat sink to copper base because copper are more better heat exchanger compare to alluminium. Nice experiment Bro :-)hope to hear more update from you.

There is a aluminium probe (aluminium will not too easily corrode with SW)

but by placing a bag of activated carbon to reduce any harmful xxxxx

well this same you tons of money, especially u run those commercial chiller

Hmmm so the bottom part of the heatsink is in contact with water? Then there are alot of choices of commercial CPU coolers to choose from. Quite amazing you managed to reduce the temperature to 14 degrees without TEM module. What was the volume of water being cooled? Flowrate?

Don't use Copper heat sink if you are running a reef tank! If fish-only tank, it could be a continuous does of copper medication. :lol:

hi,

can show pic how TEM connect to charcoal bag to probe on the locklock cover?

just place all your activated charcoal -puracarbon is a good choice. into the socks bag from dymax

actually not neccessary as i said aluminium is not corrosive.

(reason if its is corrosive than we ourselves would have been poison from drink from SIGG bottles liao haha

just go n buy a mini tem fridge.... and salvage out the tem and power source

and you can have a econmical cooler

safe money alot because running on 12v only 2amp
