oh wow Ron. That's awesome. Lots of creativity and DIY. I assume that powering on the MAC would turn on the lights of the aquarium?

Good thing the tank is in a Mac.. if it was in a windows box you'd always have a

tank crash!

Either that or you would look in the tank and see nothing but a wall of blue

What would also be nifty is if pressing the on button would play the old school MAC boot sound. There are greeting cards you can buy now that contain onboard chips that let you record a short personal greeting that plays when the card is opened. I smell a hack!
