WaterBox 10 Cube office desk Anemone tank

[OCFishGuy]

I finally got back into the REEF keeping hobby after a 10 years hiatus. I had both saltwater and freshwater tanks starting in 1980 until in 2011 I lost my business, got a new job and did not have the money or time to continue the hobby so I sold off my 15 year old reef cube aquarium.

This past June I visited my LFS and got bitten by the bug again. Days later while sitting at my desk in my home office I thought I have the perfect space for a Nano cube reef on my desk. The rest is history.

I have been enjoying all the helpful information on this site and thought it was time for me to share my tank.

Yes, the clown swims from anemone to anemone all day long.

I added a new clownfish to my tank Friday. My LFS said it was a tank raised "True Percula" but it looks to me to be a Black Photon clownfish. What do you guys think?

Epic tank! Clean set up for sure. Clownfish in a nem gets me everytime. I think I’m going to make room for that in my new tank (build underway!)

It looks very epic. The office desk needs to be very durable if it can hold such a big aquarium. Fish are my favorite pets. I like that they don't need so much care like dogs and cats, and also, the most important for me, I like that they are quiet and don't make noises. I want to put an aquarium on my office desk like you. I want to make it bigger than yours, and fill it with exotic fish from the sea. Before doing this I need to buy a new office desk because I don't think that my old one would be enough durable to hold such a heavy construction on it.

Did you build the cover over the back sump area of the tank?
