I am super excited to start a new desk tank at the office. I got really jealous of one of my employee's tanks and decided I needed one.
The inspiration from this tank came from my realization that Caribbean Live Rock was available. I personally love live rock. It is a shame more people don't start with real live ocean rock. I think this greatly increases stability and increases the chances of sticking with the hobby.
Since I could get Caribbean rock I wanted to try a Biotope and do exclusively Carribbean live stock. The plan is to add ricordea, rock flower anemones, gorgonians and Caribbean feather worms.
After I had a livestock plan I decided to go with I lifegard 6 gallon bookshelf tank. This fits my desk well without taking up too much space. I then grabbed some equipment from my garage and I had almost everything needed to start the tank.
From my garage I got.
2 Kessil A 80s
Osmolator nano
Tunze Stream 6040
I also purchased a couple other things.
Dennerle Corner Filter
Aquatop Surface skimmer
Here is the tank so far. Just rock and sand now. more to come later.
