Another silly question, I think: With a small (5 gal) rez. it seems silly to spend big bucks on a water chiller. Only really seem to 'need' it when the temps outdoors get near 90, since everyone in the area turns on the AC and power becomes unstable.

The question becomes: is it OK, or even worth it, to fill a clean plastic bag (sealable) with ice cubes and place it in the rez. to help lower temp a few degrees? Looking for a drop of maybe 9 degrees or so.

Thanks yet again,
