ok so ill throw one up my ghetto water chiller. It was a fail boat. did it chill water? yup. did you have to put a 3 gallon block of ice in it to cool two systems every hours... yup. in the end i ran out of freezer space. I did manage to lower the water temp by some 5 degrees using this set up and a schedule to replace the 3 gallon reusable ice blocks. that lasted for about a month before i found a used chiller. good by ghetto chiller.

Hazey, I've thought an operating fridge would make a killer chiller... (no pun intended lol)
Run copper tubing in and coil up inside the fridge then run it back out. It would be so simple to do and would only require drilling 2 small holes (1 inlet and 1 outlet). The fridge thermostat could be used to control the temperature. The fridge is big enough inside to put a reservoir in as well...
I don't do hydro so I've never tried it, but I think it would work great.
