That's an interesting terrarium chiller you've built. Would you mind explaining how it works?

Hello again.

First i use a picnic box whit a built-in fan as lower the temp a little extra...after i cut out two holes in both the enclosure and the ciller(in my case att de short side of the box and enclosure) and there connect two pipes. The only thing left now is the fan that i have put in front off the one pipe hole so it can pull the coold air into the terrarium. Then just stuff it whit cool boxes as you can see in the pictures..I can get down the temp to 15 degree(even more if i want) in my room were it has ben upp to 27-28 degrees this summer.

But if you want to avoid to watch the system relativ often just bye a convert termostate as starts the fan when the temprature ris in the terrarieum, so it cools down again.

Works perfect! or you can bild a mutch better ciller sytem from a frigde with the same principle.

Hope you anderstand this text.
Best regards/Tomas
