Plans once were to put an enormous tank on the first floor that you can look through into a conference room. Of course, then the economy took a turn so not sure if that will be happening anytime soon (although the plumbing seems to be in place). We just have a small JBJ nano upstairs we use for filming videos. As far as livestock goes we've got various snails (Cerith, Nassarius, Turbo) and hermits (red, blue), 2 peppermint shrimp, 1 Pygmy Hawk, 1 Yellow Watchman and various frags from employees. We had a McCosker Wrasse but he didn't make it. As the tank evolves we'll probably give a little more coverage but mostly it's for shooting how-to videos and testing new stuff (purchasing is always throwing new lighting fixtures and bulbs on there).

They're awesome fish, aren't they? You should post some info and photos of your Marine Depot office tank, livestock & equipment? Mine has gotten much more confident as well. So much so that when it sees someone walk by the tank, it usually comes out and waits for food. It likes bigger pieces - some mysis and the larger chunks out of Rod's Food. Haven't seen it take flakes or pellets yet, nor does it have any interest in cyclops. Hey Jeffry, thanks. They’re awesome fish, aren’t they?

We have one in the office tank. We didn't observe it eating in the beginning, either. In fact, didn't really see it at all. It's gotten more confident over time and I look forward to seeing it M-F. :-) Terrific photos. We have one in the office tank. We didn’t observe it eating in the beginning, either.
