the toughest thing with small tanks is keeping the temp from fluctuating.
then the evaporation. in those small amounts of water the tiniest change can have
a big effect on the tanks inhabitants.

can you hook it up to a 55 gallon sump? ;)

you have to hide it under your desk :D

tell everyone it's a jacuzzi for your feet :P

but I do think small tanks have some big challenges.

ask house, he has a tank in his office, I'm sure he would have some real world advice.

Get John to make a stand that looks like a filing cabinet. place a sump etc in there and the pico tank on top of that. I do believe that filing cabinets are appropriate for the office! Just make sure you keep it locked.

that's an incredibly devious and ingenious idea Herman, and it would so work.
I would up the size of the nano to ten gallons, come on 2.5 is just a bit too small.
I would use Herman's camouflage idea and make a 30 gallon sump hidden in a lateral size file cabinet. they are at least 36" long so you have plenty of room inside.
you must have at least a 18"x36" space in your office for your new upgraded nano.
it's not that crazy, don't complain we are not a bad influence, we are just looking out for your best interest :D
