Might work but I prefer a solution with ease to use and least amount of maintenance. Anyway how can you regulate temp with that dry ice?
Coil rounding? The heat transfer should be quite stable.. just got to test out the number of coil needed to achieve best result..
Peltier sure is maintenance free.. and more stable also

Hi Irvine,
I see that you using steel pipe, where do you buy them?
What about Aluminium pipe, will it be better?
Hope to hear from you.
Aluminium will be good... The heat transfer factor is higher than stainless steel...
However, in the market I have found Copper tubing, Carbon steel and Stainless steel.
Copper and carbon steel is out of the topic as my tank is a shrimp tank. And heavy metal will cause uneasiness to them which cause them to stress and die.
That why I stick to Stainless steel. To play Safe and ensure my shrimp life.
I bought from Able Hydraulic at Tuas Avenue 11. They sell all kinda of adaptor, tubing, and adaptor..

Hi guys.... Notice this forum below :

He had done the peltier chiller..... Nicely setup.....
I read thru many website and they all said aluminium is bad for fishes, thus I am not sure this chiller design is good.
If the water block is stainless steel or titanium material will be perfect.

Also if you surf this product called Coolworks Microchiller, you will see another innovative approach to use TEC cooling as chiller.

I will be able to make a stainless steel material... My side got the material.... Just got to weld them together...
My existing design is a closed loop system.... With the stainless steel coil acting as the heat transfer coil to draw the icy water temperature in the styloform box.
Baton courtesy.....service with a smile!
Just a heads up to the participant in this thread, this thread will be moved to the diy section soon, as the thread title implies.
If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.
Mohamad Rohaizal is my name. If it's too hard, use BFG. I don't mind.
Noted with thanks... Apologize for it...
Hi, can you teach me how to set up one for a 2 feet CRS tank, temp around 23~25
1) put bigger ice block...
2) add more coil for heat transfer
3) pump flow rate

With that kind of temp, it's better you get a chiller. The DIY stuff is only good to make sure your tank is not too hot.

I muz say the diy chiller work for my 1 feet nano tank...
temperature drop to 23 degree lowest, and gradually increase to 25 degree over 7-8 hr

Hi IrvineChen,
I think for 2 feet tank assume about 15~20 gallon water, the DIY method is too difficult. Temp swing within the day will most likely kill the CRS.
True.. that why for 2 feet it will be better to use a chiller...
my 1 feet tank only 5 gal.. That why the result is acceptable..
