Is a 60 gallon frag tank a viable fish/coral tank?

I am decently new to the marine aquarium hobby. I was wondering is is is okay to keep fish and coral in a sixty gallon frag reef tank. The tank has a internal overflow and the dimensions measure 48inches(L) 24inches(D) 12 inches (H). I wasn't planning on keeping large sps corals or fish. Thanks for the help

Sure if you select the right fish and get a cover to prevent jumpers.

What fish would be most adequate in a tank like that?

Yep you can keep all kinds of fish in there. Stock it with fish that require at least a 50 gal tank.

Fish that swim closer to the bottom or is shallow water. blennies, gobies, dwarf angels, clowns, are a few.

60g would be too small for tangs right? Lot of dwarf angels will nip at corals so tbh I wouldnt be to keen on putting one in a frag tank. Would an eel work in a frag tank? Just for fun?
