Perhaps something even less involved would include the heatsink and fan for a
computer processor. There are commercially available bulkhead versions like
this:

A&Product_Code=IPWC-50&Category_Code=Minichill

What I wonder is if this could be rigged where someone just purchased the fan
unit and ran 1/4 hose in a fashion like the fridge cooling unit and pumped
water thru that, if it would have enough of a difference. Sure, this thing
here rocks, but who wants to drill their tank and then pay $110 for this unit?

Would either of these methods work? I would like to chill my tank
and then warm it back up in the spring time (as usual, all of my
tanks are dependent on room temp, which usually varies 2 degrees
(68-70) all year round. I have a dorm fridge about a foot away from
my aquarium, but I do not think that my office mates would like fish
water running over their yogurt and sodas (I do not know why... it is
just added flavor). I think that an air hose might be a little
better for them.
