Hey I stumbled across this and thought this could be adapted for aquarium use. Its a bit on the overkill side of complicated but a very interesting read/thought.

Who said the copper had to go in the tank?
You could use a small aquarium full of water to place the copper radiator in and have a coil of hose (vinyl or whatever) in the same tank with it. Then just pump your aquarium water thru the vinyl hose. That would be a fairly efficient mass temp transfer.
