This get up has macro algae, a starfish, plankton, and sponges. Seems like a good place to start.

"Fake decorations" create a maintenance issue. I would not recommend.

 

[Mr. Mojo Rising]

we don’t really use decorations with saltwater tanks. Or rather, we add corals to our tanks to decorate them.

Just politely asking, what is your intention in this hobby? Have you done any reading about saltwater tanks?

Thanks! 25 gallons, check my tank thread for specifics. It is small potatoes compared to other's bigger builds. Good luck!

Read read read read read. Research is your friend. Don't look for the reasons to put something into your tank. Find the reasons why you shouldn't and decide if you can deal with or handle those situations.

And for the love of all the is good. Please, don't buy livestock until you are absolutely certain your tank is ready for that specific life form.

It's a daunting hobby at times. That makes it extremely rewarding. You landed in the right place for research and help. There are some wise-***** here (hello, I'm Townes), but there is a ton of information and a large number of extremely helpful, intelligent, and informed posters.

I would really suggest to google how to build a saltwater aquarium. It’s so important to do just a little bit of reading before buying and killing fish. Corals are not easy. Not to scare you but it’s not a simple hobby, it’s not difficult either, but requires some knowledge and preparation. And a lot of money.

Just to get you started, read the article in the link below. That way you can start getting everything together.

A reef tank is a beautiful thing to have in a home, you shouldn’t regret it. Just do a little reading. If you are opposed to reading, they have lots of videos these days. I suppose one of the more popular ones is the BRS 52 weeks of reefing (that’s what I think it’s called…). It’s basically 52 short 5 minute videos.

Like I said it’s hard but it’s not hard. Just takes a little prep.

Extra this. Down the road you will wish you hadn't. But I digress on this. It's personal preference.

Just know, I have two tanks.one that I want to run and one that I have to run. The one I have to run is because of a clown. She lives alone. She has to. Ask me and I'll PM some pictures of her full moon behaviors.

Best “decorations” for saltwater tanks are live rock and corals! Not like the weird stuff freshwater tanks have lol. Those kinds look tacky in saltwater in my opinion, detracts from the fish and their colors!

 

[Pickle_soup]

I will say thou, getting corals as decorations is a bad idea. They are not there to just be there. They require a lot of work and additional equipment. They are far more challenging than many popular fish out there.

Coral.
Seriously tho as already stated do some research and go very slowly. Not sure of your background but this is nothing like freshwater. Also nothing "fake" goes into my reef tanks. I'm more afraid of something leaching out not so much against the looks.
