I'm planning a new nano reef tank!
I just bought a saltwater starter kit over at my LFS just yesterday, and I'm so excited. This is my first ever saltwater aquarium!
I don't know what I want to put in it yet, but I've been researching, and I was thinking about maybe small Blennies, or Grammas since its only a 5.5 gallon. I've never kept a saltwater tank before, so if you could give me some heads-up, I'd really appreciate it!

I don't want to be the wet blanket...but SW fish need MORE room than FW fish...
I wouldn't put any fish in a 5g tank...
55 g Goldfish Tank - 5 Fancies, 2 Dojos
25 g Tropical Tank - Celestial Pearl Danio/Mixed

I realize, but I've seen 2 inch grammas. Its usually one inch of fish per five gallon, maybe shrimp?

youre extremely limited for fish, IMO the only thing small enough to go in there is a few sexy shrimp

Thank you for the information guys, I guess I should do some more research, sorry.
I took up your advice and I did get some shrimp, Cocoa.
