I'm currently buliding a chilled loop and was looking for a good fluid to use in the system. I needed something that had a low freezing point and high thermal conductivity. To make a long story short I found this great stuff called DowTherm 4000 from Dow Chemical. If you want the specs of it take a look at this PDF file http://www.cse.sc.edu/~wigginjs/dowtherm4000.pdf . The smallest quantity I can buy this stuff in is a 5 gallon bucket. The 5 gallon bucket is $102.00 plus shipping =\. If I can find 4 other people intersted in this stuff I'd be willing to sell a gallon of it for $20 plus actual shipping cost. Please let me know if you're interested.

i'm using midel http://www.midel.com/home_en.htm and it's very thick... about the consistancy of vegtable oil and my eheim 1250 has real trouble moving it if your using it in a cooling loop it wouldn't move fast enough... just thought you should know

I'm not worried about the thinkness of it at low temperatures, from what I've read it's perfect for this application.
