How do you do your 75% water changes weekly?

The front bezel snaps off and the back colored part of the case lifts off to access the tank. There is room to fit your hands inside to add/rearrange decorations. I usually just siphon the water with a hose and then add new. I just have a beta and a snail in mine so I can go a few weeks between water changes.

I came across these pictures the other day. Shall we call them iClock and iLamp. I'd like to build one of each so I can have the clock on the wall behind, and the lamp on the table beside my iMacquarium.

Absolutely love them! If you were in the UK I'd have one immediately! But alas, it'd just be too expensive to get one over here!

But, be assured that when I have more money than sense (some would say right now, saying that!) I will buy one!

Hello Mr. Harms, love my MacQuarium, how's business? I've never had so many positive comment and great conversations started by any other piece on art in my house, ever, thanks again.

Thanks everyone for the compliments. So far I have built over 75 iMacquariums and shipped them all over the world.

I have had several people interested in getting a tank from me so they can build their own iMacquarium out of an iMac they already have.
Starting in a month or so I will be offering an "iMacquarium Kit". It includes all of the hardware needed to turn an iMac into an iMacquarium (Tank, light, filter, power cord, on/off switch, connectors, bolts, nuts, screws, and zip ties.)

I still need to write detailed instructions and create a youtube video on how to build the iMacquarium but if anyone would like one as soon as I have them ready just send me a message or contact me through my website.

For anyone who may not have the tools, time, or spare iMac, I am still building complete iMacquariums ready to use out of the box.

Update

I am now offering an iMacquarium Kit. It includes all of the hardware to turn a slot loading G3 iMac into an iMacquarium. I have more information and a full set of instructions on my website. The instructions would be helpful even if you wanted to build everything yourself.
