we had fully gutted the imac previous to tank arrival. was not expecting it until after new years but it came this past tuesday. yesterday i got the chance to head into the office and spent about 3-4 hours getting it setup.
i painted the backplate and strengthening mesh gold since they were NASTY. a quick scrub and blow dry and spray. gold was the first thing i saw in the box you will barely see the backplate but hey i thought it would look alot nicer in a reflective color.
here you can see my little tank it's replacing.
wings on
tank bolted down!
"internal" air pump it is smaller and quieter than the one i currently have. it's actually plugged in and running right now. most of these pumps cheap out within the first few hours so if its still running when i get back in i'll know its a keeper.
rope light, full of bright little LEDs. if they don't meet my very tiny lighting needs (i'll even try reflective tape arranged in the case), i'll put an LED cluster over the top controlled by a timer.
i'll polish up the cases over the weekend for when i return on tuesday xD
