cooling water with air?

Would it be possible to cool the water in the reservoir with fish-tank aerators? (The things that put out streams of bubbles). The air would enter at room temp, and by the time it leaves it would be at the water temp (b/c small bubbles). How well do you think it would work?
 
I'm sure it would lower the temp some, but I do not think it would do nearly as well as a radiator. Not to mention it would evaporate much faster then a totaly sealed system. Now if you put some fishies in the reservoir and let them live inside of your computer....
 
Might get worried a fish would get sucked into a tube, around, and get clogged in the waterblock, and that would be trouble.

So how did your computer die?

Oh, well you see I had these fish....
 
You've got a good point.. and dead fish smell is the worst.. probably doesn't help the cooling much either and I'm sure no fish would want to be in that kind of a place..
