chiller question

I live in florida, and somtimes it gets hot, and in the room I keep my current tank in gets hot during the day sometimes, and its im affriad when I set my frag tank up it might get to hot for it since sometimes my house dose get up to 85 degree's in the house even with ac going ful, am I just worrying to much?
I was thinking can I make a DIY chiller some how?

 

If you have an ATO fed by your water system, just blow a fan across the surface. This will cause a lot of evaporation, which will cool the tank. A $10, 6" fan kept my 55 at 78° during the hot summer, even when the house was around 85°.

 

I have an old water cool system from my computer if I replacedthe hose and cleaned the block good I couldbuse it to run water threw it and it would would. I'm just concerned about the cooliant they use in it but I'm sure if I run enoughe rodi water threw it all will be fine

 

I have a chiller in coastal georgia. I wouldn't trade it for the world. My tank gets waaay too hot and the only thing that keeps it cool in the summer is a chiller.

 

Chillers while sometimes necessary suck up electricity like Coca Cola. I would be carefull using something that was not designed for SW like a computer chiller. It may be made from metals that would quickly corrode and kill everything in your system. I would try a fan before spending the money on a chiller..

 

Mine is designed for saltwater and works like a champ!

 

The O.P. is talking about using a computer chiller.

 

Oooops, gotcha. I wouldn't go that route for sure. Too many opportunities to mess something up.

 

Ok I mean I have a mini fridge I can mess with to make it have s dua purpose. For beer and keeping my tank cool but ill try a fan before I try that

 

By the time you DIY a chiller, you could probable buy one.
