I'm working on that part of the chiller cover now... baby steps.

I've seen that tank, it's a very nice ideia, but some issues trouble me, for exemple the feading time, cleaning the algeas from the glass, and the temperatures losses at night.

They can be resolved simply by moving the tank indoor or in a green house. In fact the invisible edge tanks are sold in many stores here, I am sure in Europe too. The problems I have seen are, a very powerful pump is needed to create the smooth flow over all sides, and humidity indoor. It is by no means an energy saving setup compared to your in-ground tank.
