Default Hot tank in the summer time!

I never thought I'd be able to get plans for a beer dispenser with this
post, but I think I'll try it. I REALLY need it to cool my poor little
guys.

If you have the time, and inclination, this might be a fun project for
you.

I have a similar project on my list of things to do, involving a small
freezer off ebay, drill two holes through the top, coil tubing inside

the
freezer, pack freezer full of stuff, ice cube bags possibly, attach a

pump
to a thermic switch, and off you go, pump the water through the freezer

to
cool it down.
Not very energy efficient but still more so than the chiller units you

can
buy for aquariums, and a damn sight cheaper. So long as the wife can
handle a beer cooler in the living room

... Drill a third hole to fit a tap in it, then? (I can hear the

arguments
now, "honest honey, its for the health of the fish... they _need_ it."
:-)

In the short term you can freeze water bottles then add them as needed.
