    None beyond rock, anything other than driftwood or other natural decorations are for cheesy freshwater tanks IMO.

    +1 blackraven's post. Please no multi-colored rainbow gravel straight out of the 80's or treasure chests that open with bubbles :). The best decorations you can add to a SW tank is CORALS!!!!

    I started this because another thread had stated they seen a tank that put bottles in it.
    I would never put anything then live rock and corals. Agreed from above post.

    +100000 to this.

    This was a major draw of mine when migrating from FW to SW.

    Everything in my tank (save for the plumbing) is something found similarly in the wild.

    Try finding a pastel-neon colored sign on the bottom of the ocean with some cheesy fish-related punny saying on it like "gone fishin", held by an even cheesier plastic/ceramic cartoon fish.

    the bottles added a lot to that tank - I saw that - it's a really old tank that the person dives to collect most of their specimens - so I am sure his biotype matches that which he sees in the wild . . .
