I've had a lot of success with mini reef systems, 10 gal, 20, and currently a 35 gal bow front with 50lbs of live rock. Mini reef systems are very popular in even this small size shown. I've seen these tanks in only the pricey stores, as they are not cheap.

But with water quality (good filter) and frequent water changes you can sustain a couple of small marine fish along with a chunk or two of live rock in something this small. Proper lighting also makes a difference, but they now have high intensity bulbs even this small. It was amazing what I kept in a 10 gallon reef, that was 12 years before today's technology.

Here's a 7 and 2.5 gallon nano reef...
