Nano at work?

[mark]

Talking nano, what would you change, a couple of gallons? Mix up at home and bring to work in something like a couple 4l milk jugs.

lol! walking through the +15's with a briefcase in one hand and a jug of saltwater in the other.

Well it sounds like it's do-able other than water changes being a bit of a pain. Is there anything else that I need to keep in mind when keeping a nano this size? I've only kept two tanks while in this hobby, the 30g I started with and the 190g I have running now. The only thing I can think of is if it crashes it will crash fast, so keep a close eye on water parameters.

No problem, I run a 29 at work and change 4 gallons weekly. I set up a pail in my credenza and mix with a powerhead. I have no problems even with the long weekends. I did put a backup UPS on my skimmer though just in case of power outages when I am not around.

I am also thinking of bringing my 8G biocube to the office, and maybe just do a bi-weekly water change.

I am working on building an 8G @ 24 X 10 X 8.
Going to use the keyboard hole in the desk to run pipes to a XP2 under it.

lighting a tank that small would probably be best done with a couple daylight screwbase diaryqueen style bulbs. otherwise you could use those tiny coralife PC lights but from experience they're nowhere near as bright as a screwbase PC.

The water changes in the little ones really are quick enough for you to do at lunch.
