I'm just curious how many people out there have a mac aquarium. I have seen several pictures here and there, but I've never met anyone personally who has made one themselves.

I have built and sold several and am interested to see how many other mac/aquarium enthusiasts out there have done the same.

Post Pictures if you have them.
I have more pictures at www.jakeharms.com

I want one, and if I got one, I'd probably wind up wiring an Ac-Dc adapter to the mains line, and have the USB ports actually charge like, my iPod or my Phone.

I am a big fish guy! In fact, I'm an editor at the local aquarium club! I thing a mac aquarium would be cool! How many gallons does it hold? What kind of fish do you keep in it?

The tank on the inside holds approximately 3.5 gallons of water. I just keep a few fancy guppies and a snail in mine because they are super easy to take care of, but any small fresh water fish would be at home (as long as they are mac fans I guess, a fish who prefers windows may jump the tank ;D )

I have made and sold several iMacaquariums. You can check them out on my website at
