    You can connect the chilled water to the stainless steel piping and have these pipings across multiple tanks. That's what shrimp breeders do.

    Hi bros i tried with this method yes it works to bring down temperature of 3 tanks using only 1 chiller. But some faunna are sensitive to metal toxins form the stainless steel coils and didnt last long. You can try high grade marine steel or titamium coils. Thanks

    Yes stainless will still corrode over time unless it is high grade marine stainless steel.

    Try keeping some frogs with stainless steel. They will die very soon

    Hmm. First time to heard this... most of our hdb is running on Stainless steel pipe, but I am glad the water I using for my aquarium is still safe...

    Stainless steel depend on 304 or 316 ba.. HDB regulation is SS316 ASTM 269 A213.. if it is safe from your tap for your frog... Then choosing the correct material is important..
