Unfortunately, this will really hurt your heat transfer rate, since plastic
and rubber are bad conductors of heat in comparison to copper.  This may or
may not be a problem, depending on the size of your refrigerator and
aquarium.  If you use plastic tubing with thin walls, this will reduce the
resistance of the tubing.

You might be able to use metal tubing safely if you cover the aquarium side
of the tubing with a thin layer of epoxy.
