Unknown to the UK we are currently having a small heatwave going over 90f, I like to keep my tank 78 - 79 recently going up to 82, have just built a Peltier chip cooler on a computer heatsink with a cooling block, I am able to cool the hot side either blowing in or out but I am still getting heat transferance between the hot and cold side meaning the cold side gets cool but not cold enough to make much of a difference. Have any of you guys had any success with one of these.
