Just picked up a JBJ picotope, does anyone have any recommendations for decoration ideas? I'm thinking about spongebob themed, but it will be used as a freshwater tank. The tank currently just has some rocks, and will not be a planted tank.
 
I would just go to petsmart or petco and get the spongebob pineapple cave, a spongebob character, and other sponge bob related decor pieces.

I wouldn't do fake decor personally, but it is up to you. I would have done a planted shrimp tank.

You could still get shrimp if u do the spongebob theme.

Get some yellowish sand for substrate.
 
Should I get sand instead? It came with white substrate, but I've had white substrate before and it gets dirty very easily. But on the other hand sand is nearly impossible to clean...
 
^ Just stick with the sand u have, and it shouldn't get dirty as long as u rn't over feeding. Also, just change like .25 gallons of the water daily. I don't think sand can get dirty without overfeeding, etc. Just get some RCS, and soon, u will have many. They will keep the sand clean.

If u really hate it, then just get a small pack of fine river gravel, and cover the sand with a very thin layer of that gravel.
 
What's your stocking plan? Keep in mind that decor will displace water volume as well as take up potential swimming space so don't get too overzealous. Just something to consider...

Not sure yet, but hopefully something that will appreciate the decorations.
