Nano tank for the office

[tanktoyman]

I am looking to put a small nano tank in my office. It will most likely be place on top of a filing cabinet. What size & brand would you recommend and with enough light for some soft corals to go in it?

Thanks

The smallest I would go with would be a AGA 2.5g or a JBJ 3g tank. For a tank this size a 18watt fixture should be plenty for low light Softies(Mushroom, Zoas, etc.). Maybe even a AGA 5g or 7g Minibow would work, although a bit stronger lighting would be needed for these tank sizes.

I would choose the largest tank you can get away with as it will give you more options for stocking. Not to mention easier to keep stable water parameters with the increased water volume.

Just my opinion.
