Very nice DIY and detailed writeup! If he makes a nice casing, it will be perfect.

Should have seen this article when I still had my nano shrimp tank...the way he assemble everything and get it to work is just so simple. but nvr state how fast it goes down to 25deg.

I like it. I wonder how much does the whole setup cost.

unless come in a package and just need to assemble

sourcing for the parts gona be tough

Neat setup

[tunicate]

If the whole assembly is not too heavy, it might be possible to redesign into a HOB chiller. Won't that be extra neat?

the peltier and the heatsink / psuppy should be able to get . maybe some variations in specs. but the peltier i think not gona be cheap. other than that the rest are avail in sls.

the heatsink is really heavy and have some weight. maybe everything inside a compartment still ok hide behind tank... but hob i doubt so...stress on the thin glass tank.

Ya I know but where to get the exact same flat & plain design ? I don't want to buy a Water cooling system just for its water block

You can get just water block alone. Some online web sell part by part.

Peltier design... I guess it works the same way as iceprobe.

The electrical consumption will be quite high i supposed.

There's a thread on this at another local freshwater forum. Maybe they have information on sourcing the components.

Online mainly are all designed for CPU cooling so the water block's water inlet/outlet are on the top rather then the one shown on the picture which is on the side of the block. Don't think can get that kind of design..
