10 or 20 gal in the Work Place a good idea?

[RubenZ]

Anyone rocking a small Nano-Reef  in their Work Office?  Do you find it difficult to maintain while away on vacations etc. 

 

I'm debating setting up a IM Fusion Pro 10 or 20 gal in my office. My only concern are the days I'm off on vacation which would be 2 weeks max once a year during Xmas and 1 week in summer and 1 week in spring.  I also have weekends off. Obviously I'd need a ATO.  I don't plan to have fish but if I do, it'll be a small Goby. I'd probably need an auto feeder not sure.  

 

I do have a Fluval Spec V laying around but I really like the shape of the CUBE'ed tanks.

I had a home daycare and had a 12 gal and my kids loved it.  It had a hood so I didn't have to worry about Barbie using it as a hot tub.  I was a little nervous of ppl over feeding so when we went on vacation (5 days max) I just asked ppl not to touch it.  It always did fine.  There was a summer it got waaay too hot.  I wish I had asked them to keep an eye on the temp and add a bag of ice as needed, but I just had some mad corals when I got home, a few WC and everything was good.

 

I know it's a little different because it was in my house, and not an office, but all my parents loved it, my kids, agency ppl that placed my kids etc.  I had some really hard kids and sometimes it would calm them down just watching the tank.

 

If you do it- post pics.

Anything is doable depending on your office situation.  It seems most prefer something smaller in the event it needs to be moved quickly.
