Hey everyone, I figured I would share what I have playing around with for a few days.
I have a 8 gallon bio cube that is up and running but since it's summer and I am in NYC I don't want to spend an arm and leg on a chiller and then it's 40$ a month power bill.... So I came across the CSXC-1 chiller and was like perfect... Then realized it was fairly expensive for my little nano. So I decided to see if I could make something like it and this is what I have come up with and guess what!? It works!! I am almost done but figured I would share.
This is the finished unit.
The insides
A one thing that is different about this then what you would get with the CSXC chiller.
No thermostat and I did this because I have a apex. And it's not as pretty looking lol but it does what it supposed to do.
If you have questions please ask and if you want to know how to make it I can send you the equipment list. I was able to purchase EVERYTHING from amazon for a total cost of $60.23 and that includes shipping. Much better then $219.00 plus shipping IMO.
