There is a vast difference between reef keeping and a salt water tank. Keeping fish alone isn't much more difficult the keeping a tropical aquarium. You will need to pre-mix the salt water prior to a water change,florescent lights are definitely necessary and a mechanical, biological and chemical filter, so is a lot of water movement but that is about all. The expense of buying enough live rock/sand to start up your tank can be huge (you will need a minimum on 30 pounds and it can take months for your tank to cycle properly. It is well worth it, and a lot of fun to watch. Most of my fish go to bed at night. I have a wrasse the buries himself in the sand, and a dartfish that goes into his hole, the clownfish hides behind the powerhead, etc.

Clownfish are hardy, along with cardinals and most blennies and gobies. Hawkfish. Some of the smaller puffers like the Valentini. 60 gallons is too small for any tank or trigger. Remember you aren't going to get as many fish in a marine as a fresh tank - so find a few favorites and go from there.

Chromis are schooling fish that are very easy to keep alive.
