can you have an aquarium... say a fluval edge mini reef at your desk?

Todd W. · « **Reply #1 on:** November 29, 2011, 19:42:47 »

Depends on the policy of where you work....

I work at NASIC and our policy on pets allows for us to have a fish tank... A woman that was part of this club that worked in the same building as me had a nano. I plan on bringing my 6g in after the holidays.

Where do you work?

Be careful. I think Nikki lost everything in that tank. They shut all the doors in her office one winter weekend and the hvac cooked the tank.

If anything, mine would freeze. It is a constant 58 degrees where I sit.

I'm thinking he does which would explain the constant 58.

We are not allowed to call in work orders, our LG does that. No I do not work in a server room, I'm in a small area of a cube farm. We used to have 6 guys back where I sit, it is a dead end arm off the room. They were R&D and each had about 6-7 high end PCs in their cubes. It was about 90degrees back here. They eventually got in a work order to have an extra cooler put here in the ceiling. 8 months later they moved but even though they adjusted the cooling it is still freezing. Right now I am wearing a winter coat, hat, and my right hand is very, very cold from using the mouse. LG is working on the issue but still no resolution... It is pretty nice in the summer but the winter sucks realllllllly bad.

Todd W. · « **Reply #12 on:** November 30, 2011, 09:58:47 »

I lived like that for about 1 year... Right next to an air handler, I couldn't hear myself think.

DarinSchmidt · « **Reply #13 on:** November 30, 2011, 10:01:40 »

yeah, its pretty noisy in here, been doing it for 2.5 years. When i drive to and from work, i drive with the radio off, cant get enough silence with having to be here for so long. And my wife wonders why im quiet when i get home...

Reefpete · « **Reply #14 on:** November 30, 2011, 15:06:14 »

Lol I work in a shop that has tested levels that run 86.5 db and above all day and I still jam the radio on the way home.

My wife said you need to ask the facilities manager of whatever building you are in. She's a interior designer & has done a few projects out there & stated each facilities manager has different rules....

Ya I will check into that. Once I moved from the C-17 (nice building) to my new program an older building (bldg 28) I thought it wouldn't be that big of a deal.

Todd W. · « **Reply #22 on:** December 03, 2011, 11:02:25 »

I would go with the LED light and fuge. The fuge gives you quite a bit of flexibility.

The others are PC lighting, they have to be replaced regularly.
