Yep... but no pics yet as Im still testing it.
I made one out of a 5000 BTU Window A/C unit and a Titanium heat exchanger. You will need a qualified HVAC/R person to help, otherwise the cost of tools alone will exceed the cost of a professionally manufactured unit. Here are a few threads that you should read if you are seriously considering this. http://archive.reefcentral.com/forum...5&pagenumber=2 http://archive.reefcentral.com/forum...5&pagenumber=3 Oh, and just in case you were thinking about it...... ... the Mini-Refrigerator idea wont work unless you are wanting to cool a Nano

The compressor on a mini-fridge wont last long trying to cool a 210 gallon. The compressors in these units require low-temp refrigerant to cool the motor windings. The refrigerant temp would return way too hot if you put such a heat load on it.
Save your money.
