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

I was going to use a Vortex Diatom XL filter and 2-Under Gravel filters 2'x4' each, in a reverse flow setup(Water would exit the Vortex and go into the UG filters, The intake would be for the Vortex only, which will not only leave the aquarium extremely clean, This is done so that the fishes won't get tired out since the Vortex could do that If the flow came out directly), Vortex Diatom XL filters can can filter down to particles as small as 0.08 microns in size. My PC would be only a few feet away from the aquarium. I was going to use a powerhead to push water into the radiators fins. And the Vortex can be had for about $150.00 or so. No need to draw, I know what It would do.
