I am planning on very regular, sizable water changes (seeing as how the RO system is 10 feet from my desk) to keep nutrients down (I have some tricks here). Also, I have a limitless supply of lab grade chemicals (calcium chloride, etc) and a pile of small peristaltic pumps. Dosing would be super easy for me to set-up if needed. I want to see if I can do without it though.

That's an interesting idea. Have been wanting a mantis. Any idea what they like around corals?

Maybe do:


1) Pulsing xenias ( which is hosted by clowns) with a mushroom bottom ( do pick your colours for the tank then look for the corals; I think green corals are the most fluorescent ).

2) a zero reef setup with either a open brain, elegance coral, .... might look neat since it is in a office for others to admire. A rbta might work too but it may move around as well as requiring a sump to increase the minimum water volume to say 30 gallons.

I believe one can add a few sexy shrimp as well...but that's about it.
You need to change 100% of water once a week... maybe less if you have a sump where you would have rocks, chateo for a pod population.


3) checkout youtube ( nano cube, biocube, etc ) for ideas: eg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znJ2iTLLYQk&feature=plcp
