Is there a way to use and air conditioner to extract heat from a tank of water, say 50 gallons. The water tank will be approx. 80 - 90 F and my thought was to retrofit and AC unit to cool the tank to around 65 - 75 F. Is this possible OR just an impossible dream. Any help would be most appreciated.

They make smaller plate heat exchangers that will work for what you want. At 15 degree difference thats only around 6,000 BTUs that your looking to remove, so it won 't take a 1.5 ton condenser long to cool the 50 gallons down to the temp you want. About 20 minutes.
