Started a new job in November 2021 and asked employer for permission to set up a tank in my office, which they allowed me to do and I set up in May 2022.
With the office having been refurbished on all 3 floors, I needed something that would (1) compliment the dark grey and charcoal furniture (2) be low maintenance (3) not flood the place.
So I purchased an ex display Aqua One Horizon 65l tank, cabinet and light. Filtration is under gravel using an old Hailea air pump with £10 ugf plates and uplift tubes.
7 pieces of pre packed dragon stone were purchased.
No heater as the office is always warm.
The substrate is just gravel with a few homemade root tabs
Started out with 6 Cherry Shrimp which now number at least 30 and 7 x Gold White Cloud Mountain Minnows.
Plants are a few Anubias from my tanks at home, moss, and a couple of Echinodorus. I know that the latter will be too large for the tank, but nothing is going to grow fast in their.
A 7 leaf cutting of Pothos is also being used to aid filtration.
I feed the plants once in a while with some diy fertilizer and so far so good.
