14g Biocube at work

I was able to get this setup from Jacwil (thanks Justin!) and get it into the office this week. It is up and running and coworkers are already getting anxious to see what kind of things are going to go inside. Even one of the bosses popped in and sat down to stare at the empty thing. lol I'll try to remember to update this on occassion with some more pics.

I crossed paths with the big bossman at my job (a rare sight), and he told me not to drop my lunch on the new carpet

Actually he was commenting that he "loves these things" but hasn't ever wanted to take care of one. Depending how this one goes, there may end up being more here. All three partners here are extremely laid back guys which in turn has made for an excellent atmosphere. Turnover is almost non-existant.

sweet! Does that window take a lot of sun? might want to watch the temp during the summer!

 

[dreaminmel]

Window lets in the rising sun in the morning and so far the temp doesn't budge. The office feels like a fridge year round so I'm not anticipating any issues but will definately keep an eye on it. :thumbsup:

What are your plans??

They hiring??

Love it Mel! I just showed this thread to Jen and she immediately caught that you painted the tank lid to match stand...nice!!!

 

[dreaminmel]

Thanks Lizz! Just thinking zoas, rics, shrooms and maybe a froggie or something. Still trying to decide what one fish to put in. Definately including a cleaner shrimp. I'm excited to watch your new project, can't wait for more pics! (and nah... they're not hiring at the moment. They just added a bunch of people to the Benefits department and took over more square footage in the building. If that goes well though, they'll be adding more.)

Justin! Thank you for this awesome setup. :beer: (didn't paint the tank lid... that appearance is courtesy of my LG EnV3. Hate phone cams. lol)

Nice little setup Mel. Now lets fill er up with some nice looking corals. Keep us posted with some pictures..

Side note.. You planning on coming out to ABC Swap?

 

[dreaminmel]

Thanks Dave, will do. Re: ABC swap... not sure. I really would like to but have some other stuff going on that may prevent it.

 

[dreaminmel]

Popped in at CF and TRS today. Ended up grabbing these for the nano.

Neon green shrooms

Little rock w/ blue shroom and some zoas

Between this stuff and what I've got at home I shouldn't have any issues stocking it up nicely. :thumbsup:

 

[aquadonkey]

Nice pick-ups. Like that blue shroom - very cool color

 

[pascal32]

awesome finds! love the bright green mushroom!

 

[Conesus_Kid]

Very nice little setup, Mel.

Trust me, it's awfully nice having a an aquarium to look at while you're at work!

 

[dreaminmel]

Thanks all. It's starting to come together nicely.

Here's an updated pic. Not surprisingly... the T-Torch is the office favorite. lol

 

[wetbehindears]
