Anyone keep a salt tank at work?

By that I mean on your desk and not as a display for the lobby.

well, mine is 180 gallons, so too big for my desk, but I do keep it at work.

I keep a 12g Nano at work. Everyone loves it. Many have never seen live corals in an aquarium. Though they did give me a hard time when it spent the first 2-3 weeks with nothing but water, sand and rock.

Unfortunately, I'm at work right now, so I can't post pictures. Any reason you're asking, or just curious?

I have a 20g + 5g fuge at work. It was quite popular for a while until I moved most of it to the new tank I set up at home. Now it's basically a holding tank.

I setup a 16g nano that I keep in my office. Right now I just have several frags, a CUC and a shrimp, however I ordered a midas blenny from the LFS that I am waitng on. It's really cool; my boss visits me, pulls a chair right up to the tank and starts with the questions.

Most the cubes around mine have tanks in them. Most are salt, a couple FW's (one guy is breeding scyclids (sp) at work). I choose to only have a tank at home though.

Sizes ranged from a 2.5g to a 10g. There used to be a 5g mantis tank here also, but the owner left the company.

My tank has its own desk. It is a great conversation piece. I wish I had more time to just look at it at work. I have considered bringing it to my house, but it is an escape at times.

I've considered it, but a few things concern me... getting an OK from Supervisor A, then later getting a no-no from Supervisor A's Supervisor. I also have a concern over power outages, holiday periods, cleaning crews, malicious coworkers or even good intentioned coworkers that feed the nemo-fish half a container of fishy food... or a piece of their glazed donut.

...that being said, it's still always on the back of my mind. <shrug> I dunno.

Yeah, I'm fortunate that the building where I work has two pretty massive generators, so my tank at work's safer on that account than the one at home. I still have a powerhead hooked up to an UPS for shorter term power losses. Getting permission was one thing I was concerned about. I actually only asked the building superintendent. Bosses tend to be OK with most things that they themselves aren't going to get in trouble with. I did cringe a little the first time the fire inspector came (the whole salt water in close proximity to electricity thing), but I think they were too busy giving me a hard time about my copier being plugged into an extension cord rather than directly into an outlet (yeah, you see why I was worried).

i'm pretty sure my work turns off the ac during the weekend so my tank might cook without a chiller
