I had been contemplating building some sort of water chiller out of a minifridge. After a bit of research, it became clear to me that this was not feasible. I eventually tried just putting the air pumps in the minifridge with a bunch of water jugs in the there to retain the cold temps. It just injects cool air right into the rez and you get around issues of insulation with poly hose and contamination issues with copper pipe. Just stick your pumps right into the freezer part. It worked for me. Try it for yourself. My res is only 2 gallons, fyi.
