ok a six gallon nano with a giant pacific octo in it.....most nanos have lids, so once you get the octo into the tank, you wont have to worry about it getting out......I think someone on the board has some octo eggs they would be willing to sell you to get you started.....

They are all for sale
They do get large so the nano is only a temporary set up for them
The leaf fish gets 4 inches
And the angler can grow up to 12 inches but I have never seen one bigger then 6
leaf fish 50.00
black angler 89.99
white angler 179.99

My dream Nano would be one filled with liberal amounts of everclear, triple sec, vodka and rum. Add in fruit punch. Plug in powerhead to mix and then add fruit. Best part, no cycle. If you want livestock just invite a few friends over, I guarantee they will be swimming in it or at least trying to.

Hey, let's use my punch bowl nano for the everclear, triple sec, vodka and rum. It will be almost like a champage fountain (only better).

Adam,
What about a top-view seagrass tank? That would be cool.

Well for my current nano, I have a 6 gallon nano cube. The substrate is Caribbean sugar sand, really white and really small, I love it! Then I have oh... like a 10lbs chunk of live rock, covered in GSP and surrounded by some type of leafy macro algae. The plan is to fill it with chocolate chip stars and see if the can eat the GSP faster than it can grow  I currently have one, but am planning on adding a few more small ones... and I tossed in a blue damsel for good measure... Thats Tim's Nano!

A nano with the back wall covered in GSP, ONE rock in the very middle.. covered of course in GSP.. like a grassy knoll - and, you guessed it, a longhorn cowfish to "graze" his merry pasture : )
I've even whipped together a nice visual : ) Cheese-tastic! .. and small.

Do a hypnosis tank Adam... Cover the back wall in Xenia add lots of star polyps lots of random flow then a fish that is constantly on the move like a pseudochromis or somthing.
I also saw this tank and nearly attempted to recreate it in coral
Paint your backround like the sky add a carpet of zoas or gsp then one big ole leather. Maybe a frogspawn or cheato bush and some grey acans for rocks.
Just random thouhts though.

I havent read through all three pages so I apologize if I copy someone elses idea.
Ideas:
A tank full of nothing but anemones - and a single anemonefish.
Palythoas-only tank. Paly's growing over everything. Sides/back/bottom.
Algae tank. Nah, never mind. Who would want an algae only tank? 
Mantis shrimp tank
Nano Jellyfish tank
Chromis only tank. Ever seen a tank at a pet store with thousands of goldfish? How about a nano with three hundred chromis. They would have no choice but to school.
My favorite:
Clam tank. 15-20 clams in a single nano.

How about a flatworm tank. Maybe we could figure out for sure if they are detrimental or just unsightly.

6 gallon nano, as much aptasia as you can possibly find and like 50 peppermint shrimp. Don't ever feed the shrimp, instead leave them to fend for themselves. Then see who wins the battle, the aptasia or the shrimp. I only say this because I don't believe peppermint shrimp actually eat aptasia...

I can guarantee you that they do. There are several published papers on this, and many many videos taken showing them clearly eating Aiptasia.
Now how well they do this, or how hungry they would have to be... well that is tough to know.

I kind of like the idea of several small clams, bunched at the base of a small LR. Don't know what else - but at least several shrimp and maybe a sea apple. Lots of amazing colors.
