That is a awesome stand my friend and yes it counts ;)
 
Mr Aqua 12 Gallon Long tank. It has been running for almost 5 years. No skimmer and no powerheads.

Before this tank I had a 5 gallon tank that housed a single clownfish. This tank was running for almost 7-8 years and was at various apartment buildings before I decided to take it to my office and put it on my desk. After a year or so I decided to upgrade to the 12 gallon long.
The tank was even drilled and put together in the office kitchen on the weekend :P.

After a 3 years at that location the 12 gallon moved to a new office building down the street. It was taken apart into 3-4 pieces and put on a dolly cart, taken down the elevator, rolled down the sidewalk, and set back up during a weekend.

All of the maintence is done after office hours conclude around 5. I do water changes and filter swaps in about 20-30 minutes once or twice a month. Minor stuff like cleaning the glass or stirring the sandbed I do in the morning or around lunch when Im bored. All shipments are delivered straight to the office and everything usually arrives before 9am. Our UPS driver is also a member of our local reef club and will let me know if he has one of my shipments and makes our office build one of his first stops of the day.
 
Well, you do have some sort of reef tank at your work place?
Btw, I never abandon my other thread.

I don't work, I'm 16 but yeah, definitely planning on it one day.....if that counts

You also never told us the story of how you got into the hobby, only teased us with clues........maybe not abandoning, but still a crime in the first degree against the hobby[emoji6][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji8]

Now that's funny!
 
I am just getting my office tank going. It's been running for about two months.

25 gallon rimless that a drilled myself. Just goes to a little ten gallon tank I put some baffles in. I have a SPS dominate 180 at home and I didn't want to give myself extra work at work so I'm going to go all softies.

I have a couple clowns, lawnmower blenny, and today I added a Canary Blenny. I'm not sure on what other fish I'll get.

I wipe the glass and do water changes whenever. I suppose I've only done 3 water changes. Once on the weekend because I was passing by that area (I live 45 minutes from work) and the other times "before" work. I'm salary so there really isn't a before or after. It's just work all the time ;)

As long as work is getting completed, no one sweats me about it. The President actually used to have a 200 gallon cichlid tank at his house. He comes in about everyday to check it out. He's now thinking about getting a saltwater tank.

I also got a shop that's about ten minutes from work that I'll drive over to and check things out. Not real big on coral, but I've been able to get my fish from there. Luckily we have a good selection of LFS around here in Portland, Oregon.

And of course pictures. Lame as they may be:

I am in awe with some of these tanks. You guys are so lucky to have a salt water at work. They look fantastic! I don't have a salt water at my work, but at least its something.
