Great job man......thats definately awesome, one day Im going to make a chiller setup for some local darters (my wife says as soon as i win the lottery); Im definately impressed with the Brook Trout.....beautifull fish!

you just need to get a mini freezer and convert it it isn't that costly...i just am unemployed so it is harder to get the funds together and pay bills on unemployment...
 
pics of the freezer when u get it. wanna know how to do this. i have a small mini fridge but no clue if it would have enough strength. its a true mini fringe. fits 6 sodas thats it. lol. but if it could cool my 10 g..... any idea how to do it? cheap pref

drill 2 holes in the side big enough for the lines to run through from you pump and back...make them a little bigger then the lines so you can have a syiliconed pvc sleave so the "sweat" from the lines wont mold inbetween the fridge panels...then use 5-7 coils of copper tubing (use plastic lines from a few inches in the fridge to the tank) syilicone/dow the plastic lines to the coper lines sso there is no chance of leaks...have a good submersible pump and thats it...i will post pics when i get it set up...i am just rotating frozen bottles for now...i will need to get the freezer before the heat of the summer kicks in...
 
hmm. ok! cool!! Im thinking about tryin trout but i dunno. Think im gonna do a custom tank( 48" by 7" by 10") and do a handfull of daces(mine is already pellet trained, and they are awesome!) and some more sculpin(mottled, and potomac)!! Pick up a cheap minifridge to cool the water a little... hmmm.... lol.

ya it works...you just have to get the flow rate and the number of coils in the fridge to get the temp you want...just set the fridge to the coldest setting and ajust from there...
