Fill it with chaeto then plumb it into a nice 90 or 120 as a fuge

But seriously I'd have a blenny in there for sure. Lawnmower or bicolor because I've had them and love them... or a tailspot because they're adorable.

some smaller gobies would be bad ass...I had a pair of yashia's in a 10 gallon (well, approx 6 gallon display)

been thinking about blennies cuz i had an algae bloom lol so i told my LFS to order me in a lawnmower blenny but sure enough i turn the lights on the next day and my 2 snails cleaned 'er right up! so when i get the call to pick him up i still will out of good faith lol. i thought about a fire fish but i read that having the blenny with other inhabitants that have same body stucture is not a good idea?

side note: i picked up 4 snails in total, 2 astrea and 2 "west indy" pink snails <--- anyone ever seen/heard of these... they seem to be doing nothing but look nice.. i took a video of one of the lil buggers climbing out of water and having this white elogated tube with what looked like a mouth on the end squirming around.. sorry if that made no sense, how do i post videos lol? youtube?

what about an invert tank (sexy shrimp, etc) or a shrimp goby and pistol pair or dare i say it... a damsel, or chromis, or goby tank or well pretty much any nano fish.
Check out liveaquaria.com in the nano fish section to get some ideas

I would love to see a 5-15 gallon with 2 or 3 yellow assessors...
pricey, but would make for a really high end nano display...
