I had a thought about doing this same thing.
What stopped me is my Aquarium is on the other side of the room so I would need the coolant to run about 30 feet. I think I would loose more in flow from trying to push coolant that far than anything I would gain from the exchange.

But if your aquarium is close to your PC and you are useing a wet dry filter system, you might try putting the rad right where the tank water dumps into the filter set up, it would achieve a kind of bong cooling effect ( in my warped way of thinking).

I will try to draw it up in paint if you are interested
