Feeling uninspired: 28g Biocube, need ideas

Hey all,

Looking for ideas for a 28g biocube. I'm just bored with it and I want to redo it, or take it down. Its always been a softy/lps reef but most of the corals have been removed recently as they weren't doing too well... I think it needs new bulbs. Anyway, what are some cool ideas to do with this tank? Some ideas I have considered:

1. Is it too small for seahorses? Never done a macroalgae/seahorse tank.
2. Caribbean biotope - Cherub angel, jawfish, gramma, neon goby - although I'm worried this idea might not be "different" enough.

Whatever I end up doing with it, it has to be cheap as the 90 takes up most of the budget. I'm willing to replace the bulbs but not upgrade any major equipment. It has the stock 2x 36w PCs currently.

I remember when zoanthids were called things like "green" and "orange" and not "reverse gorilla nipple."

Current Tank Info: 180g reef with all the bells and whistles

A zoanthid garden? Cheap, easy, and can be VERY beautiful. GL.

+1 also you could do a mushroom garden then get a pair of really cool clowns. Or you could do an anemone tank, a few RBTA and a pair or really cool clowns.
