Thanks. That site seems like it would help alot.
hello,
Do you know much about fish or macs?
I have a few things to point out:
-If the mac is not already gutted, you have to remove the CRT on your own, which is potentially very dangerous
-Fish can react to chemicals very differently then us. Even ivory soap (which is the gentlest soap) can kill a fish. Make sure you research the silicone and wash the glass panels thoroughly with a fish speciality cleaner
-Ask her what types of fish she plans on putting in. No goldfish or anything like that
-Keep in mind that tanks need a lot to run which means you need space for; a heater, filter, lights, and air pump.
I would be happy to help along the way if you like
I appreciate the help! I have removed the CRT from my eMac in the past, I usually wear thick rubber gloves when taking it out. It makes it more difficult, but I am grounded that way. I also keep it unplugged and don't touch the computer for 72 hours minimum.
As for the chemicals, I have no idea what to use. I remember seeing a pre assembled tank for the iMac a while ago, I'll try to find that. I just need to put together an estimate of the cost of parts and labor before she gives me the ok to order everything.
I'll find out what kind of fish she wants then. If she's spending this much on the aquarium, I can't see her putting gold fish in there. I told her it would be well over $100 and she said she would be fine with that.
The pump can probably be kept in the back of the case, where it tapers slightly. I can probably run tubes from the inside of the tank to the pump, right? I don't have much experience with fish, the only pets I've had have been lizards, turtles, and cats.
