    I think I have an idea for a DIY chiller! most of you know that I own a bar and the tank I am building is going to be in the bar. well as I was thinking about the size of the chiller I would need to cool the tank, I really did not want another compressor in the bar. SO I was in my walkin cooler doing a beer order when low and behold it came to me that I was inside a large chiller! I was thinking if I put a radiator in the walkin and then did a close loop over to the fish tank and then put another radiatior in the sump. have the pump for the close loop controlled by a controller to turn it on and off as needed.

    just an idea!

    I'm no refrigeration expert, but to an amateur, that sounds brilliant.

    You'll upload pictures, won't you? ;)
