Nano Stocking Issues

[willertac]

There's been talk of me getting a 10 gallon nano. I already have a 55g underway, but I have no fish in mind for that if this is true.

If I do receive the small tank, the only fish on my list of fish for the 55 will be switched to the 10. I had a Pink Skunk Clown and a Firefish in mind for my 55 and I couldn't think of anything else. I thought of a Green Clown Goby for the 10 if I got it, but then I thought, why not merge the two to leave space for bigger fish in the bigger tank? I also planned to make the 55 a reef at some point, but I always had a feeling it would be to hard for me to fill up as a first saltwater tank (my first saltwater tank, but I have had experience helping out with my stepmom's and I've worked with freshwater for a large portion of my life). But if I had a smaller one, it would be easier to fill.
If I did get the 10, here's my list:
Green Clown Goby
Firefish
Pink Skunk Clown
Brittle Star
Blue Tuxedo Urchin

I don't have accurate info on tank size for the star or urchin, so if they have to be removed from my list, please advise. Also, I know that Gobies fight, and I've seen the Firefish advertised as a Goby, a Dartfish, and in its own category. Are these two an issue? Are any of these an issue?

Might want to drop your list down to 2 fish, but what equipment will you run in the tank?

Also the urchin might need a bigger tank than a 10 gallon unless you plan on feeding it.

I would get rid of the clown if you are going to have any other fish in there

Don't know, right now it's just talk, but I like to have fish in mind anyways.

Ok. All those fish will work in a 10 gallon, but if you stay on top of your water parameters you might be able to do it.

The skunk will get too big for that tank. I'd cut it out. Also, by brittle star, do you mean the little guys or the larger serpent star variety? I wouldn't mess with a serpent star in a tank that size.
