Umm.... its not very easy to maintain , you will have to keep a check on the bottles regularly , still you will get uneven cooling throughout the day. And most important thing what if you forget to add the bottles or when you are not at home for a few days???
So the earlier link that you sent me is better but it is limited to smaller tanks and i just read it properly , only Thermoelectric Module can be difficult to get , i am not sure if it is available here or not but will go to check it

+1 with you

Instead we can try and make some modification with the design
Also try to use dry ice instead of regular ice
Dry ice is more effective and can maintain lower temperature and doesnot melt in styroform box for few days
Because we use it in icecream box for caterings

Dry Ice is very easy to procure. However, I would not recommend dry ice for home use.

Dry ice is solid form of carbon dioxide. Commercially it is used as a cooling agent. Touching it is very dangerous and can burn the skin.
