Its a slow day today at work and I was looking at this blank space on my desk and it hit me that would be a great spot for a Pico tank, no more than 5 gallons. I have a my full blow reef at home and could bring some frags in. But I have never built a pico tank before. Any recommendations for an all in one setup that looks nice for an office environment?
 
What about the biocube 14? My LFS has them on sale. Seems like a solid setup that out of the box could support soft corals and some LPS. I really just want something that would house a pair of clowns, anemone, mushrooms, and zoas. Maybe a cleaner shrimp. Ready to go out of the box that looks nice. If the foot print is 15x15 I don't care about the capacity.
