new dwc cooling idea... will it work

that little thing you linked to wouldn't work. but you bring up something that would. instead of buying an expensive chiller you could buy a small used bar fridge and run your line through that.
 
lol, sure it will cool your rez, the question is will it be to a measurable level, maybe a small fraction of 1 degree in cooling. I just put my air pump in the garage, it's pretty damn cold in there.

Options:
1. Air pump if cold outside (don't try to use air if you use a freezer solution)
2. Water pump pumping water (or coolant with coil in bucket) to coil/radiator in fridge/freezer/outside if cold. (if fridge/freezer, note it will most likely be unfit for food storage with the temp swings)
3. Drain to waste cooling (use cool tap water temp running at slow rate through a coil to cool the res, water is continuously being wasted. )
4. Buy an actual chiller
