Half feet cutsey cube...

[desideria]

I was at Reborn today getting stuff during lunch time and I saw THIS at their counter .. a small half feet cube with a teeny tiny overflow and a small Dymax LED light!

It even has a harlequin shrimp in it! According to Elvin, he had put a pair in there but someone bought it so he put in a single shrimp.

There's just some zoos, 2 Rics ( 1 seems rather bleeched), a single clown and a shrimp in there..

There is not much filter media per se but some coral chips and a sponge.. that's about it.

It's been like this the past 2 weeks.. just top up with DI water. THE LED isn't powerful enough which is why the zoos aren't doing that well but I guess with this little pico.. can't expect the world...

pics taken with iphone so not very clear.. apologies.

I am so tempted to buy this for my office.. but then again..... should I.... what do you guys think?

Thats the IQ3 from Dymax. Yes, and I am having this in my office as a pico... just with some zoas, GSP, White Pipe Organ, 2 x mushrooms, and 2 x Sexy Shrimps.

Poison u... hahaha... u can always frag some frags from your home main tank and put inside the pico... just note that I add on my Blue LED, with the Dymax Robot LED. Also, the dymax pump has burnt after 1 week (24hr and mine is 2nd hand) usage... so better get a tunze mini pump ($19 only) as a back up. Oh, of course not to forget to get a timer and fan to blow when the office air-con is off... weekly WC, and lastly any approval from your boss.

[mitlancer]

forget to let u know that Dymax now has a new Robot Led for marine use.... dunno if include blue leds, have not seen it in operation, just that more $$...

[desideria]

oh no.. I am feeling poisoned....

[peacemaker]

Yay! I think we should start a little club for IQ3 owners.

Did you see Jacky's demo on the Dymax LEDs (normal white and marine) on friday night? I'm loving it.

[comycus]

I'm not gonna ask my boss whether I can keep a fish tank in the office...

Can always be interpreted as too much free time on my hands

LOl.. u r right. Tats y i didn't even bother to ask, just hide it in a corner for me to see.... hidden with files, stack trays, etc... unless he makes noise, but then it's already been almost a year liao. Better not push my luck for a bigger tank!!!!!

[jackywongto]

I am tempted to start one too .... wahahaha .....

[comycus]

I just went to see the IQ3. Desi, I can totally understand the lure!!! hahaaa

Maybe this can be my plan B in future if I can't put a fish tank in my house.

[ming69]

I got one for my eldest from Aquarama last yr. One live rock, one bumblebee snail, one maroon clown. We hardly turn on the lights. He's in-charge of feeding the clown fish, and topping up water.

This tank is the easiet one to maintain.

[Terryz_]

I am so tempted to set up one for my desk but I am surrounded by computers.. Might not be safe.. LOL...

[Ketchup]

Cannot keep fish at workplace la... people really think u too free...

[desideria]

I very tempted leh.... I had a friend @ work who kept a fresh water one too... she hardly even clean it!!! LOL .... put in some sexy shrimp, 2 little clowns... maybe 1 or 2 rics.. hhmm .. lol

[peacemaker]

Well... I have some mushrooms, an orange yuma, a baby blue ric, small frag of GSP and 2 types of zoa frags. I have my Yashia pair and 2 sexy shrimps, but one the the Yashias jumped today...

[comycus]

Desi resist the temptation!!!

don't fall to the dark side

[ming69]

Not trying to set a bad example, I haven't change water for months and we never had to clean the tank.

Guess not turning on the lights and feeding once a day help keep the algae away.

[peacemaker]

Hahaha... just goes to show that keeping it simple and basic works well.

[mitlancer]

See... Poison poison everywhere....

Desi resist the temptation!!!

Comy! Listen to that inner voice of yours... the one that says, "I wanna have an IQ3 too!".
