Personally I dont think it would make much of a difference to a tank temperature. Unless I am wrong condensation would collect on the copper tubing then drip onto the fan controls it would only take a few drops to cause a lot of problems.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

It's not a tank cooler, it's sort of like a swamp cooler without the evaporation. What I don't get is why use ice water (which it takes more energy to make) in this way. Because it looks cool?
