DIY Chiller! Any Ideas?

I cant see any way to make a cheap DIY chiller, and i would be extremely worried about making one that isnt going to malfunction on you and accidentally cause the death of your livestock.

Not to mention the operating costs for running a chiller to keep your tank that cold is going to very costly overtime.

Finally, please dont make multiple threads on the same subject.
 
Most people that need to keep their water extra cold use commercial restaurant style tanks -- like the ones that are used to keep lobsters.

Any heat that your chiller removes from the tank will be exhausted back into the air by the chiller. This causes your AC to have to run harder to cool the room, which is constantly being heated up by the operation of the chiller. It is more efficient to vent the chiller to the outside. Unless you do that, your chiller and AC will be working against each other.
