Re: Would this work?

hmm you should probaly mount it froo a celing because chillers are sooo expensive uless you find one on ebay or you are willing to pay some cash.also you canget two of those white hanger thins that you hold flower pots with make sure its metal and that you can put alot of screws in it.then put plexiglass or eggcrate underneath

so heres the easy part. buy two fans one on each side
maybe buy a chiller
hang it on one of the ways i said above
and put egcrate over the tank
