I want to set up a small (10 to 20 gallon) biotope tank that is low - medium tech. Are there any good biotopes I could create for a small tank. I was looking at Amazon/South American, Indian, or African. Which biotope would be best for a small low - medium tech tank. I'm planning on about 2 - 2.5 watts per gallon with some fertilizers and diy C02. Also, any fish and plant suggestions to fit in a 10 t0 20 gallon tank.

What's best really depends on what you want...it is your tank. That being said it's also kinda hard for us to give you any examples as there are too many different fish that could fit in the variety of tank sizes...I'll try my best to give some broad suggestions.
Though I would have to say african is out of the mix unless you want killies.
SA you could go with tetras, corys and possibly rams/apistos
SE asia would be rasboras, kuhli loaches, and dwarf gourami/ honey pair
plants...I'm not so good at.

Extinct? Since when?
I would go with SE asia for a 20 gallon tank. A honey gourami, a school of rasboras and a school of Kuhli Loaches would be perfect for a 20 gallon tank.
You coould do either lots of fish to choose from. Plants from Asia are easier to name and get that will stay smaller. You have crypts and anubias galore to choose from.
Thanks alot I was kind of leaning towards SE Asia today when I was thinking about it. I'm going to do more research.
im doing an amazonian 1 its pretty neat but plants are harder to deal with. go for SE asian 1 much more plant variety
