Recognize that shape? Both of these chillers use piezo electrics.

dang, I LOVE THIS IDEA. I can keep a mini fridge in my office, But yeah the issue of frozen line, which i think combined with the cooling fan can work as a fail safe and may be the water never stops circulating, Its just a slow drip loop thru the coil using a tiny micro pump. THINKING HAT is ON.
Does not sound like a solution you would want, but years ago (when I was using halide light on a 20g tank in my office) I had to find a way to cool it. I ended up using 1/4" hose ran from the tank to my mini fridge and a big coil in the refrigerator section of the mini fridge and back to the tank(putting it in the freezer section required much smaller coil... but also froze the line when it was not circulating).

Yup, may have sandwiches the in the housing. Looks like this is a ready made solution, that along with Fan Cooling should help the Nano I believe.

Loving the IDEAS everyone. So far Soo good.

Chiller, Fan, Fans, Line thru Mini Refrigerator, Peltier. But then I think a combination should help maintain the temp in the tank as this Nano, is more of a softie tank with few inhabitant, the temp swing may be there, but the idea is to minimize the swing.

I just realized I was calling it a piezo not a peltier. My brain must be mush from lack of sleep. Your fish would be ticked if you installed a piezo electric in your tank lol

@Dark_Knightt ,The 2 clown fish in have in my 50G, hand around the overflow and don't move anywhere. Quiet frankly these tank raised clownfish host nothing. So thought to move them here and get wild caught ones for my tank. It doesn't matter about the fish selection rite now, that was just a thought. it can be a fire fish or another goby vs. clowns. Im more worried about the temperature maintenance aspect of it now,

If I cant arrive at a COST EFFECTIVE solution that will work, then there is no NANO tank.
How big are the clowns?

I have a small aquarium cooling fan mounted above my Evo 13.5.
Its only a single unit but they make them in 1,2,3 and 4 fan versions. It has high and low speeds and they mount right to the rim of the tank ( I chose to suspend mine) and they are inexpensive.

Hi Mike, how well do they work? How many Degrees Faren height or Celsius can you achieve? And the size of you tank? I am considering a 4 head unit on my 35 Gal Nano.
