Well this is me soldering the pipe to the aluminum plate (to fill in gaps and help with heat transfer) It's kinda messy but a little cleaning and it won't look too bad... plus it will be on the side nobody can see

How is your heatsink going to be set up? I maybe missed it but are you running tank water through the copper pipe? Or will it be attached outside somehow?

It will be on a separate closed loop system that will travel under the ground to dissipate heat... I may in the future branch off of the pipe and have it run through some plastic pipe and have tank water on the outside of the pipe to cool the tank on hot days.
