Hey there guys. Name's Chief, already introduced myself in freshwater, wanted to do it here as well. Happy to be here.

I wanted a saltwater tank. I live at the beach, and wanted to mix some native species and a FEW more exotic that I liked. I got a 55 gallon set-up, the cora-life $600 compact flourescent lamp, $300 hang-on skimmer, the tank(given from a friend), 3 small heaters, and was just about to get the water, and my landlord said I can't have that big of a tank. I had a little table-top freshwater 6-gallon guys. I got a 20 gallon tank, and set it up for fresh-water. Looking into getting more fish once I fix the water. Wondering if instead of finishing the FW tank if I could realistically have a 20 gallon reef tank?

I know they make Nano's, but with a standard 20 gallon glass tank, you think it would be ok? It is a 20 tall. I would want live rock, live sand, and maybe a small anemone, maybe some inverts, basically the whole deal. Am I trying to achieve too much? I would probably use some local gobies, drum family fish, and really like cardinals, maybe a single/2 clownfish with the anemone. opinions?
