One of these days, I'm gonna finish my dorm fridge chiller. I have most of
it done, but I don't know if it will fit the space I have for it yet.
Those Ice Probes do look cool. (Sorry!) You can put them anywhere they will
stay submerged, not just the bottom of the tank. I would bet you could put
one in a wet-dry filter sump very easily.
