Default [Idea]: Fishtank Water Cooling!

Here is a picture of what i was thinking




Please keep in mind, i know little about watercooling.

I want to know if this has ever been done before?

Is there anything i could put in the tank to help the watercooling loop like a pump or another part?


Criticism is welcome!

Thanks


Paint Skills FTW!


Edit: Here is another idea i came up with...




Feel free to expand on either one of my ideas.

Thanks!

Algae and other impurities in the fish water would cash the loop to not function properly.

Cool idea, but not feasible.........or at least not with real fish.

If there was no pump, but just a tube and res in there would it have a negative effect on the loop?

I Like it.... All you need is Some Mesh Gaskets found in hoses and a very good Filtration Pump.. but then i think youll need to monitor the Fishtank Temperatures too, the fishies may not like a Kensfield running at 4ghz frying them....
