Haven't used this one myself, but have read good things about it. http://www.nanotuners.com/product_info.php?cPath=34&products_id=290
I'm looking at getting a nano tank in the near future and if I choose the aquapod I will probably invest in this as it's pretty compact and hidden in the canopy.

with the sunpod he is going to go without the hood I assume so the ICA won't work.

Look into iceprobes, this spring that might be my next project

Good point, I guess i didn't realize the sunpod went without a hood. The iceprobes looks nice though too.

I used a 72 watt peltier on my last setup. I used a computer CPU heatsink and fan and glued it all together on the back of my sump using homeade thermal epoxy. I bought this one for my new tank.

It is pretty big so I will have to go with water cooling for the hot side. And will have to use a 400 watt computer power supply!

around 760 watts = 1hp so it should do well. You will need a good temp controller. Also electricity and water should never come in contact with one another......

In case someone is confused...it is mounted on the outside of the tank and not in the water!!!

Electricity and water can kill you so I don't want to give any "instructions". You can google and find all the info you need. If you cool something it can sweat and form condensation so keep that in mind when mounting and wiring it. PM me and we can talk about stuff. A larger one like that is new for me too so keep me posted on your results.

I have an iceprobe chiller on my 10g and the thing works great. Runs 24hrs a day in the summer months, competes with the heater at night to keep the tank at 78, 80 during the day. I have 130W PCs that really heat things up. Iceprobes are a good product.
