Hmm... I'd not even both putting in a "limit" on this, but cover it with
the judging criteria (like I mentioned earlier; sorry Roger!).  Things can
sometimes get dicey in terms of what's "natural" or not.  For instance,
suppose someone carved a sunken ship out of wood? :)  Or a treasure box
out of rock? Suppose I wanted to do a Native USA Aquascape, complete with
discarded aluminum cans and other trash on the bottom? (Yes, I am
seriously thinking of entering something like this.) 

Again, I don't want to discourage a beginner from entering the showcase,
and I suspect the "bubbling treasure chest" tanks that you're worried
about will fall out of the running on their own by the judges.
