Chiller-less Cooling

has anyone tried this...

the concept is like how cars reduce water temperature,
hot water comes into the radiator, water is cooled by fans...
fins of the radiator acts as heat sinks...

in the case for the aquarium, we could put a whole block of ice on top of the radiator itself and in essence, the radiator will act as a chiller of some
sorts...

most of the radiators are made of aluminum... is this bad for reef tanks?
i dont know if copper is included but will have to check for sure...

output water is colder...

Hey Guys! just wondering if it is more practical to just buy a 350Wats PC power supply since its more accessible to buy than a AC DC adapter or transformer.

I dont know the mechanics of a power supply and would like to be enlightened. if I have a 350Wats power supply and have only a total of 20 wats of PC fans, how much electricity/power am i using? the whole 350Wats or just 20 wats?
