So I brought a 10 gallon tank I had using as a quasi invert holding tank. (Long story lol)
I work in an open office and share a cubicle pod with 2 others and managed to talk them into stocking the tank if I brought one . So I’ll post all the pics from the initial move to where it stands.
Equipment list is just a HOB filter, power head, Chinese strip light similar to the Current IC, cobalt heater and an Inkbird controller.
Thinking of adding an ATO down the road but I’m not sure I want to sink that kind of money in. I will probably be adding a HOB refugium since one of my coworkers who has a desk tank seems to be having a good experience with his. my coworkers added a “Wyoming snow clown” or something like that.
So here’s the pics!

Added some zoas and some candy cane. Coworkers added a blood shrimp who undoubtedly went straight into hiding just as I suspected it would lol. It’s home is behind the filter pump ‍♂

I will say it’s becoming a bit of a distraction lol but I’m definitely loving it! My coworkers are still deciding on the next fish, which I believe will end up being some kind of clownfish. And then I’ll add my little six line in the end that I need to rehome since he’s a little jerk lol.

Funny story:
The water and one rock on the right are now the only remnants of my first 26 gallon tank I got.
Definitely hoping to pack this tank full of coral. May try some SPS just to see if my Chinese light can handle it.
 
Much as been added! The coworkers got a black ocellaris to go with their Wyoming white. And I added a goni and some I believe it is birdsnest? Everything seems to be doing awesome. Set up the auto feeder and that’s working great. Here’s some pics!!

I’m definitely having fun with this little tank especially being all my fish for my 150 at home are being QTd at the moment.
 
If you want a cheap ATO that works well for nano tanks of super small size like a 10 gallon (at least from what I hear),
