So i decided a long time ago to buy this, but never got around to doing anything about it, until now Its a water filter and cooler, and i decided to convert it into my shrimp cooler for this summer ive just tested it as much as i can, until my power supply decided to blow XD running a 2 amp pump with a 1 amp power supply doesnt last to long (20 mins XD) temp in the cooler got to about 8c, pump water temp was 18.8c before i started the pump, ran the pump for 20 mins and got to 17.8 and thats was about 10L of water, not the fastest of things but all i want is to drop 3c in summer This is the part where the water is cooled now ive coiled up the pipe inside, i did pipe because i didnt know what the coating was inside (black coating) This is it closed with the inlet and outlet ready it fitting in its foam case it completely in its foam case this is where the magic happens, to keep it short, there is a hot and cold side when you add power to it, the side you can see now is the hot side, and whats sweet about it, when you cool the hot side, the cold side gets even colder this is the fan to make the hot side cooler so the cold side get freezing!! its getting all back together now, its all inside ready to be sealed up here is the finished product! you can see the pump and you can see the water shooting out, this will end up going to my tank This is the almost finished product next to my tank with the pump all connected so now all i need to do it have it turn on and off by its self, ill be hooking up a temp controller to make the pump turn on and off, and cool the tank! ill post that when ever i get around to doing it anyway hope you enjoyed

With Waterhouse snails, DRN and CRS. I find that when I feed spirulina powder, the snails often feed off the surface and spread mucous around. The shrimp hang off the snails and the mucous to feed off the spirulina.

That's gotta be the ghetto mod of the year on SKF. (pun intended).

happy hump day.

Happy hump day everyone :)

Thanks for the offer Disciple but I'm happy with the deal I got from you ;) no need for cash back. I would try your advice Jackson on soaking it in bleach for a bit, however when I was at Aquotix on Sunday I asked them to take a look at it and they also couldn't get it to work so I decided to purchase the ufo diffuser and it ended up in the bin while I was there. Aghh! Oh well, another thing learnt. Another perfect example of not checking with forum members before making a decission like the previous stone mistake. Time I signed up for a membership, you are all so helpful with your advice and encouragement!

they can also release tannins into th water which are good for the shrimp :)

Received mine today! Thanks very much @newbreed !! very nice! Currently soaking in a bucket of water, do I need to boil the Cholla wood before using it?
