[APD] Re: Chemists: Aluminum and the Freshwater Aquarium?

["Tom Wood" <tomwood2 at flash_net>]

"I haven't tried a circulating setup, but I have had a piece of aluminum 
wire in several of my tanks for over 5 years and it shows no signs of 
corrosion (I used it as a cucumber-kabob for some fish). I would imagine you 
will get many, many years out of an aluminum radiator." - Bill

Thanks Bill, long term exposure was my concern since the radiator will be 
right over my main electrical distribution center to the tank. A leak would 
be more entertaining than I want.

Russell - I looked at the Iceprobe but for my setup it requires drilling the 
tank. I also looked at the Peltier (Thermo-electric) industry in general and 
there are a lot of products out there that could be adapted. I still prefer 
the radiator setup since it requires less electricity to run it.
