Vacuum pump?
This one sounds silly, but where can I find a vacuum pump?

I need to remove air out of a small enclosed space (like a 5 gallon aquarium or other transparent object)...

Thanks!

1. Here's a start....
Even though its an industrial search site, you may be able to find what you are looking for.

2. Thx!
Found something compatible that Sears sold.. $35. Along with creating a vacuum, it can also add pressure... http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&vertical=SEARS&pid=00947058000&sid=I0004500030000100085

Shouldn't be tough to jury-rig this to a sealed small aquarium...

(yes, this does involve Peeps... :evilgrin: )

3. HVAC supply shops ?
They use them to prep closed system air conditioning coils, maybe you can rent one ??
