I want to buy my mom a small tank for her desk at work. She works ten hours a day five days a week and she comes home very stressed out. I want to give her a 1 to 3 gallon tank to put on her desk. I was thinking of putting 1 to 2 pounds of live rock and an inch thick of sand. I just want to know if anybody had any suggestions of what I could put in there or if anybody has a tank of 1 to 3 gallon. I was thinking of putting a yellow clown goby or a neon goby and maybe a hermit or two. I would appreciate any comments.thank you.

talk to poison waffle, he has expirience with super small tanks.

My suggestion is that its going to be a ton of work to keep maintained on her desk at work. The evaporation rates and levels of water could swing even with multiple top-off's daily!

The mantinence for a well running super small tank is very demanding.

A tank that size would be a lot of work. I would not suggest adding any fish to it. Shrimp would be nice.
