Hay guys check out my DIY water cooler. It solve the topping water problem.
I have to top water every 2 to 3 days ,that is why I try to DIY this cooler. It is able to bring down the water temp by 2 to 3 degree same if I am blowing it direct. Cost $80. Please feel free to give me advise.

brought this radiator at a computer shop in sim lim. Now a days computer also using water cool system to cool their mother board ,so got the ideal from here. It is more like a plug and play,the hose fit nicely into the radiator.
My water out from my filter go into the radiator and out to my fish tank. This is very new thought,just set up today,will let you guys know more feed back.
