Comments anyone?
someone gave me this link, this guy made a chiller using 15V 15A peltier.
But aluminum block is not a good choice for aquarium set up.

You can see from my 2 design, tank water never go through the aluimium block. Either the tank water go through the titanium tube or chill water go through the titanium tube.I maybe using oil so there should not have any corrsion.

Design A would be better, as long as the cooling liquid within has no contact with your aquarium water. I take it that you are using a typical PC coolant system. This way you keep the system separate from your aquarium water, so removal at any point of time for maintenance would be easy.

Hey Kingic,

May I know how many litre of water your fish tank holds?
Mine is a small fish tank holding 20litre or less water.
Called a few LFS and ask for conventional chillers... most replied with "We don't sell chiller for soo small tank..." I got 1 most epic reply... ask me how much I wana cool my tank and I told him I wana drop bout 5-6 degrees... he told me my fish tank soo small ask me use fan... lolz!!! ambient is bout 30 degree and use fan can go 24-25 degree... LOLZ!!! didn't bother talking.. gave thanks and hang up~

Let me know if ur idea works..

Thanks..
