what kind of stuff can i have in a pico. I'm thinking of 1 seahorse and 1 clown and some assorted softies. would this work?

No, the amount of food you'd have to feed a seahorse would quickly overwhelm anything under 20 gallons.

I guess my question to you is "how confident are you with your experience?"

i'm confident enough to start with one fish at the beggining and will progress to the seahorse would be my anwser. lol

any ideas?

Just as long as you're comfortable operating on a razor thin line, I don't see too much issue with that. Just keep in mind that neither the clown nor the seahorse can be considered long term residents for anything between 2-5 gallons.

Remember just because someone does something, doesn't mean it should be done. If I was you I'd go with a 10-20g nano to start with. That way (if your a fish person like me) you will have more choices of what you could do available to you.
