I saw one the other day that had a tank covered in black plastic square panels.
The front panel was removable, to reveal an attractive display with some neat sponges.

I'm going with a 5 gal bucket with a screw top lid - installed today, maybe it'll grow something interesting. I figure it's got a shot since my display has grown a half dozen hitchhiker sponge colony types.

I have a tube camera I can run down the plumbing into the bucket in a few weeks and see if any progress. If it's really cool, I can unscrew the lid and fully inspect. But it's a 5gal bucket, it'll never be displayable in any real sense.
