As many ppl try to make their office or work kinda to feel at home to make it through the day a bit easier, I know that we have a lot of hobbyist that have some kind of reef tank at their work.
Not because they are boring :rolleyes: cause that's weird as who is boring at work........... I don't :cool:

So the question is who has a fish tank setup at work and how do you spend time on that?
Pics are very welcome of course.

Oh and if some of you wonder if I have one at work................. no I don't, it's kinda hard to move the tank everyday from one job side to another :rolleyes:
 
I tried taking my 10g AIO and setting it up my classroom but after bringing it home and taking it back during the Christmas break I lost an anemone and some candy cane corals. I realized I couldn't do what I wanted and keep a successful tank so during spring break it came home for good.

I don't have a regular office and I get to spend more time away than most but I really miss it at work. I actually made more time for it at work than I make for it at home. My son's 90g takes up most of my time.

This better not be another thread that you're gonna abandon[emoji6]
 
My IM 10 at work...
5 fish, 1 shrimp..and a mix of SPS, LPS and Zoas.
Change 2-3 gallons every other week.
Clean glass and Skimmer once a week on lunch 15 minutes...easy setup.

All setup on the APEX as well, no cutting corners even though it's a 10 gallon, nicely done Sir.
 
Nice matured nano there wow

Not allowed water at my work but planted bog with micro freshwater bowl is allowed. Tiny gecko might rotate out occasionally if I scoop it off the wall at nite from break outside but usually plants only. Some rare mosses to my area I had to go to a remote mountain to harvest

I'll like it.
What is the hood made from?
 
Ben, you just need a mason jar pico on your dash. ;)

The "poo" tank is at my office.
It's most definitely harder when you don't have the time like you do at home.
Hauling water to the office is a pain.
And I have a nest cam to keep an eye on things over the weekend, in case of potential power loss.

I basically could as my dash is so big I could do a FOWLR and a small reef or seahorse tank.......... I could connect all to my in dash electronics and on board computer to have a 24/7 monitoring.
My overhead dash LED's are strong enough for the lights I need and the Z71 4x4 will create enough movement so I don't need a wave maker of some sort.
Just have to figure out how I do a double or triple ATO setup :rolleyes:
 
Diesel thanks! The hood is just throw together ply painted white


Lights are led strips off my drone running off a wall wart for a little TV repurposed. They are plant spectrum luckily, my estimate is 5500 K lol and cost about four bucks

I stripped them off the legs of my drone and put under the hood. one year they generated alien reports in the night sky, the next year they produce the tricky red aquatic plant alternanthera for harvest into my other planted tanks aquatic
