I currently have a 2.5g saltwater tank cycling, but I was wondering what I could put in it to make a Pico reef?
 
What corals you can have will be limited by the light. Most picos do best with soft corals. For livestock you can do sexy shrimp or pompom crabs. With a pico you will have to do top offs several times a day unless it is enclosed. Enclosed tanks have a special set of problems so it is usually best to go with an ATO for top offs. The more stable you can keep it the better. For a first tank a pico can be done but it isn't easy, very little room for error.
