Voltekker Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Me and my girlfriend are going to do a pico imac aquarium. We dont have plans.yet but we are working on it so far we have the measurements for the tank more or less and the imac shell. We still need the light, we are looking for the smallest one we can get to mount on the top of the case. Somthing that will support corals nice but not cause to much heat or evaporation. And we need to figure out how where gonna do the filter i want do like a mini sump with a false wall. All ideas and recomendations are welcomed. Link to comment
Bobalouy Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Finally, a useful apple! Sounds like an interesting idea, are you planning on making the tank from scratch? What Imac is it, one of the older colored ones? Take lots of pics, maybe some of the striped case for now, to help come up with some ideas. One warning though, it may be doomed from the start. Apples like to crash you know, lol. (sorry no more apple jokes) Link to comment

Bobalouy Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Hmm, could be interesting, the tank is not going to be able to be square. Doesnt look like there will be to much room for lights. And How do you plan on accessing the tank for cleaning, and feeding? Link to comment
