iMacquarium Kit


Due to popular demand I now offer an iMacquarium Kit.  The kit includes all of the hardware necessary to turn a slot loading iMac G3 into an iMacquarium.  To accompany the kit I have produced video instructions on how to disassemble the iMac, make the necessary modifications to the iMac case, and reassemble the iMacquarium using the kit.


My kit makes building your own iMacquarium relatively easy but it does require the correct tools and handy skills.  Please be sure to read all notes below and be sure you are capable of this project before purchasing the kit. 

  1. DANGER!  Do At Your Own Risk! - The CRT monitor in an iMac can hold thousands of volts of electricity.  Please have your CRT monitor discharged by a professional.  In the disassembly video I offer instructions on how to discharge the CRT but please note that you are following these instructions at Your Own Risk and I will not be held responsible for any injury or accidents that may occur to anyone while following any instructions I offer.  Please take all safety precautions.  More information on discharging a CRT can be found at the following link. http://www.wikihow.com/Discharge-a-CRT-Monitor


  1. The Kit Includes the custom built tank, Whisper 3i In-Tank filter, custom 3 foot rope light, light switch, 6 foot power cord, tank mounting hardware, wire ties.  You will need your own slot loading G3 iMac and tools.


  1. Required Tools - flathead and phillips head screwdrivers, hammer, pliers or side cutter, wire brush or sandpaper, electrical tape, Dremel or similar rotary carving tool, hot glue or silicon, high speed drill, 6 inch buffing pad, buffing compound, soft cloth, plastic wax or polish.


  1. The Tank holds about 3 gallons of water.  The face of the tank is curved to match the curve of where the CRT monitor would be.  All tanks have been tested to ensure there are no leaks.


  1. A slot loading CD or DVD drive G3 iMac is required to follow the steps in my instructions.  The models with a tray loading CD drive look similar but are built very differently.  The tank will fit inside of a tray loading iMac, but my instructions are for the slot loading model and I can offer little instruction for the tray loading style.  Be sure your iMac is in good condition before you start.  Attention:  The inner frame that incases the screen under the clear front bezel is sometimes fragile and may crack.  If yours is cracked or broken you will need to glue it or find a new piece.

Don’t have the tools, time or skills to build your own?  Purchase a complete iMacquarium.
