Toby Flenderson Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I just set up a 3 gallon fw basic setup at work. Anyone else have a work tank? I like being able to put any cheesy thing I want in there, bubble treasure chest? Why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islandoftiki Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 On my tool box, I have a two gallon Fluval Spec planted dwarf freshwater shrimp tank. I have Yellow shrimp, tiger shrimp (three are babies), Amano shrimp, and one vampire shrimp. What kind of fish/inverts do you have or plan on getting? Dwarf shrimp are perfect for a 3 gallon.

pnkrcklives Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Seems to be alot of techs on here. I am an auto tech. Now I need to get a fish tank for my tool box. There are a couple other techs on here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islandoftiki Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I'm thinking about doing a saltwater pest tank at work, too. Something that can handle higher temperature swings in the summer since we don't have air conditioning, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h2odvl Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I tried to get one for my tool box but got shot down. " all containers in the shop with a liquid must have a air tight cap or cover when being stored". I'm sure I could make one that was sealed but don't want to push it.

But you are not "storing" the liquid Just stirring it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islandoftiki Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 The more I think about it, the less I really want any salt water on my expensive toolbox. I'll stick with the shrimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h2odvl Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Worked for Acura/Honda for a few years now at Toyota. Will be going to school to get a degree in another field. I like myself to much to do it for the rest of my life:) Current project is a 67 dart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
