i want a desk tank.....

[scalesandfins]

i sit here at this desk doin nothing all day so i figured why not have a little tank to look at here. kinda want a micro salt tank. maybe some tiny corals and a clown or a twin spot goby
what would you guys suggest? i dont want to go any bigger than 10 gal looking at more like 5 maybe make it rimless. what would you guys suggest for filtration? i want somethin simple sefl contained. i might look at making a built in wetdry

Fluval Edge marine tank?

 

[Heathd]

I would reccomend the fluval edge as well. However, the lighting on most tanks in the size you are looking at are lacking in proper lighting and filtration. They usually require mods to be as care free as larger tanks.

the edge would be cool but a little pricey and seems too fancy for me. kinda want to make this a home made deal

I think it would be a gr8t lil salt tank. You could probly do a hermit and maybe some shrimp.

i do have a biorb life and a fluval edge marine aquariums my self and their fab aquariums very easy to look after

heres a good option for a 5g

it comes with a nice filter built in the lid thats very efficent and comes with a nice light so with some LR this would be a very stable set up for a few small gobies or 2 clowns

No suggestions really tank wise. I would do the biggest thing you can just for stability purposes. You will be gone on weekends and the such, the more stable you can make the system, the less likely you are to have any issues.
