Default DIY chiller

Well with all the warm weather we have been having, I've noticed that the temp on my biocube was getting into the 82 range. Too hot for the coral. So I went looking for a chiller. Too much money right now for me. So went looking on the net, nope I dont want a bar fridge in my livin room.
Then people started talking about peltier. Sounds do-able, so went looking for one! a-ha found one at canidian tire, its used to heat and cool drinks and runs off of 12v ad they give you a 110AC adaptor. Then how to cool water now, I had an old HOB filter lying around could I use it?

So I took apart me new purches and do just a bit of wiring and now I have a peltier with a heatsink and a way to turn it on. Silconed it together and zip tyed it to the hob filter on the outside.

Waiting for it to dry and see how it works. hopefully tomorow.
I'll let you know how it works.
