Just finished the build of our IKEA bookshelf here at the office. It was a fun project that got the whole team involved (even the guys that don't have their own tanks at home). We had everyone scape and build their own tank of various sizes. You might recognize a couple of them from the Family Pet Expo.
Nano and Pico freshwater planted tanks are a great way to give flavor to a boring corner of the room. It's also a mood booster if you put it in the office! The relaxing flow of water coupled with bright greens is soothing to the eye and good for the soul.
