    Cooling Nano Tank From 3 Feet

    I have a nano tank place beside my 3 ft. I have the idea to get the water chilled to the same temperature as 3 ft (with chiller) through maybe an aluminum spring shaped hollow bar (dip in 3 ft) connected to the nano tank's canister. So, need experts out there for opinion to see if it would work or have any reaction to my 3 ft with such steel dip in it.

    Place the smaller tank right next to the 3ft tank letting both of the tank to come into contact. The bigger tank should cooled the smaller tank this way. This is in theory though that it might work.

    use small pump. Conect small pump to hose, run the hose into the 3ft tank. Make the hose into couple of coil inside 3ft tank. It is the best if you can get metal pipe, coil it, and conect it to the hose as heat exchanger. Return the hose to the nano tank.

    I don't think that's possible BFG. As both my tank is of different height. By the way, I'm renting an old house with it's floor not evenly built (cement). So, it's not going to be as easy even if it could work.

    Will the metal pipe pollute my 3ft water? I have CRS in it. If I would custom make a smaller sized tube by copper/alluminium to save some space, would it pollute my 3ft water?

    Actually, the reason why I have this idea is because my Dophin Mini Chiller MC-789 broke down. One of the component on the PCB board blown. No spare available for sale by Dophin. Unless some experts out there can help advice what kind of standard equipment i could use to replace that.

    coper is no-no, alluminium might be save (but I'm not 100% sure). Anyway if just for temporary until you fixed the mini chiller, you can just try coil some hose.How about fan?

    It depent which part is spoiled. have you open it and take photo? some of the bro might be able to help.

    I'm not very sure...as I'm not that good in electrical. So, not sure which part to take picture also. I'm wondering if that thing works as a transformer or something. If yes, I could easily get a standard type.
