I used to maintain the cold water tanks when I worked for the biology department at Camosun College years ago. The stuff was really cool, and surprisingly colourful. I found the only problem was working in the tank; the water was so cold my arm would hurt before it was in the tank a minute. That, and the octopus kept running away.

Japarto will also tell you that unless you're around all day to watch it, it would be more trouble than it's worth.

the problem with using a fridge to make a cooler is that the compressors comenly used in fridges have around a 15% duity cycle. that means that they can only run 15% of the time so say 10 min every hour. if you run more than this it will burn out the compressor in no time at all.
