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.

True!
I kept a 10 gal. going strong in my high school marine biology class( you'll have to guess how far back that was!) and we stocked our aquariums with sealife we caught ourselves on 'field trips' to the beach, released all back to the gulf waters at the year's end--darn, another field trip. five minutes to drop 'em in the water, two hours for frisbee...yes, teen life was tough in Florida!
