cool idea...my only concern would be the potential for increased air temps...
This is probably better for individual buckets than a res.
"Typical temperature pull-downs:
10 Gallon: 6-8 degrees
20 Gallon: 3-4 degress
40 Gallon: 1-2 degrees"

Teddy.. I have one, use one and for $100, it is perfect for my 13 gallon res. It drops temps 7-9 degrees F. I some times turn on a second pump, that just dangles in the res for circulation, the heat from the pump keeps the temps from going below 60 to 62F at night time.
I think it would be good up to around 20 gal for about -5 to 6F.
More than 20 gallons.. it becomes a POS.
I'm getting a second one for a second res. OH! yea.. it ads about 3 degrees
to my 30x24x72inch box. Heat has gotta go somewhere.
Now if ya wanna go for $300..... http://www.petmountain.com/category/161/1/chillers.html .
You can take the heat outside the box!
Good luck m8.

Hey 4maggio......do you use the temp control device for the ice probe? wondering if it is worth the extra $55? this would work great in a swc.
