filtration suggestions for a 2.5 pico

[stickx911]

I've been itching to start another tank. But I do not want to do anything big at the moment, so I figure a little desktop pico would be plenty for me.

I would have LED lighting capable of keeping some zoas, and the livestock would be a goby/pistol pair. So I should not need anything too fancy, but would you guys recomend maybe a tiny in tank carbon filter or are there any small canisters out there? maybe one for like a turtle tank (designed to filter smaller amounts of dirty water).

I'm just contemplating at the moment, and I really don't want any complicated plumbing or equipment, but I do not want to do it all wrong either...

Thanks for any input.
