My fiance has always wanted a saltwater tank,and I have had thoughts about having one.It would be FOWLR.My problem is I just do not have the room for another big tank.I already have a 29 gal freshwater tank,plus many other animals.We both really only want a small clown and either a small blenny or goby,and maybe a couple inverts.If not a clown we both like jawfish.I know bigger is better,but I can't have bigger.I have an empty 10 gal,but I know that is a bit small.Ok here's my 2 questions,and yes I have read all the other posts.

1.If I used the 10 gal what could I put in it?
2.What size tank would be the minimum for the stock list I have above?

I just want an idea.I know using a 10 gallon would be alot of work,but it would be just another everyday chore I would have to do.on liveaquaria.com it lists a 10 gal as minimum for a jawfish and many types of gobies and blennies.Could I get 2 small fish in a 10 if I kept up with the water?

a single goby plus some invert will be fine in 10gal, if u want clowns best to use a 29gal+

how much work u need to out in depends on the equipments u used, such as how good the filter is. And having live rock will also help out alot (which I think u going to have anyway since u said FOWLR). If all good, the maintenance can be as low as just feeding and a bi-weekly water change
