Well I got this original idea from Lurkerz and his desk top tank and I thought man that would be sweet so. A couple of months ago I ordered in the tank and a 8w t5 light set up for it. It finally came in and about 1 month ago I set it up. Used some live sand and put live rock in it. Some cheato and a little live water and it was going! I Ended up pulling out some of the live rock and got a sweet rock from burt! (Thanks again) Here are the pictures sorry so crappy. It was taken with my Cell.

Lights


Pump


On my Desk waiting for water


Filled with water and sand and rock just cloudy :(


Pictures of it now

You can see the lobsters molt in the back of this picture.


Its got a fire shrimp, Cleaner Shrimp, purple lobster, bi color blenny, lubocks wrasse, pink birdsnest, galaxia coral, hammer head, some snails and a tiny tiny conch.

Thanks to Arthur for getting everything in for me!

I love this tank.I get to see it all day. Ive never seen a shrimp actually molt and both of mine did yesterday it was fascinating, the lobster molted last night! It is so fun to actually look at these amazing animals all day. Its fun to have one at home but to be 2 feet away all day is so awesome. I fear my work is lacking because of it though... oh well!

Looks good =D, That rock would look really cool if each tray (?) was covered with a different zoanthid.

Very cool! I saw a little 2 gallon setup at The Aquarium the other day and thought about doing this. I may have to sometime:)

I too was going to do a small 2 gallon pico but didnt like the limitations. This gives me tons more to do with the tank and the set up wasnt even $100. Not close!

Very cool! You have a piece of the Ocean at work :).. great idea. I too do not like the Pico's, it's just too small. This is really a cool looking little tank.
