Well upon further research, the "chiller" I bought is actually just a heat exchanger. It doesn't have any coolant in it so it can't lower the tank temp below room temperature. I tried to cancel the order but its already been shipped. I guess I'll have to see what I can do with it. Anyone have any creative ideas??(besides using it as a footrest/paperweight
)We have one room that stays pretty cool so I thought I'd try putting it in there and switch the fans in the lighting hood to something larger (they're just those little computer fans) I guess thats what I get for trying to save money  Christy

I saw something neat the last day that 'may' help.
I was visiting a guys place and he had sw tanks. They were plumbed to a 100g sump in the basement. He had a temperature controller on the system such that 1 circuit operated a heater, and the other a solenoid that open/closed a valve. This valve was plumbed into the cold water supply line, and fed some coils in the sump, then down the drain into a waste. I am not exactly sure on the construction or materials, but this looked like a relatively cheap 'chiller' since colder water here is free. just a thought....

well, thinking about it again, it does sometimes take all blinkin day to make a 5g container of RO/DI water
. I'm sure I could do something with the waste line perhaps, thats pretty cold water.
