Well, I was feeding my fish this afternoon and noticed something. I have a 40g Plexiglass with a Wet/Dry Filter system. I measured the temps coming in from the heater box. I then measured the tempurature before it gets pumped back into the aquarium. I did notice that it was considerably cooler by the touch. So, thinking about it. I quickly drew up something like this. Water will enter the plexbox, hitting the perforation area, slowing it down, then dripping to another perforation area, I would guess that it will get cooled just by those 2 sections. Then falling into a turbulent area where 2 fans will blow into the section cooling the water even more, then hitting 1 last perforation before dripping into the resevoir below and into the pump. I have planned a vent so that the box can breathe and let warm air out. So...evaporation will occur, but I would get at a very slow rate like my fishtank. So, fillhole above. TADA! I would like to see what everyone thinks before I start to gather matarials. I am planning an all plex box. Thanks for you time :D
