Lets see those 5.5 & Under Tanks

[rbrice020378]

For my birthday I decided to that it would be okay to spend the money to set up a tank for my desk at work. (Thus this being my gift from my wife)

The biggest problem is that I don't know what size to do. I looked at doing a standard 2.5gal and decided that the rectangular shape was too small. So I've thought about ordering a cube.

Looking for any advise that can be offered.

So please post pics fo your tanks that are around 5.5gallons and under that way I can get a good idea as to what looks good in a particular size.

Thanks

just order yourself the 6 gallon nanocube....looks great on any desk

I looked at doing a 6 gallon nano and figured that it was probably going to take up too much room. They are pretty strict as to what we can have in our cubes. This is one of those things that wasn't listed that we couldn't have but at the same time it wasn't listed as a could have. So I don't want to draw too much attention just yet.

These are looking great keep them coming.

1 gallon per week water changes, minimal feeding, macro, and about 15 snails do keep it pretty clean. i do work pretty hard at it though. it's the tank i look at most. the 60 is pretty clean and the pony tank is OK but i'm working on those more. thanks for the comment

yeah, i have to. there's no way the water could handle all the food the suns need. i have 4 other suns in a different tank & i have to take all of them out to target each polyp.
