What other methods of filtration are you using? Have you live sand? What aer you planning on keeping?

Aquascaping is a personal opinion so you won't get one answer!
My advice would be view as many pics as you can and pic something you like!

Good luck. Your aquascaping is never done. Every time I look in my tanks I want to move something.

I'm glad I'm not a fish. I don't know a small rock? A small ship? A small plant? Oh wait, that's probably too much, forget the plant. LOL!

Oh play nice everyone.

Timjoemak, you certainly won't be able to fit a clownfish (nemo) in such a small tank. In fact, you really shouldn't put any kind of fish in there, as the swings in pH, salinity etc. are far too great. Plus, who wants to live in a closet? What you can put in there livestock wise, is a few hermits, or maybe some sexy shrimp. Not much else though. What kind of filtration are you running? Do you have a sand bed? How much Live rock? Answers to questions like this will help us help.

I aquascaped my 2g pico with a rock full of aiptasia. I is really just an experiment to see if you really can't kill it.
