Well, you are going to find out what you are up against very quickly.
Actually, now that I think about it, a starting a Nano for a first SW tank may not be a bad thing to learn on.
Need to be prepared for a long series of fish losses, frustration and great deal of lost $$$.
Might even be enough to have gotten a larger tank in first place.
Honestly, if that is all you can afford or have space for...do some serious study on successful reef keeping tricks, read past posts here and get good advice when you need it (again at 3Reef) .... you should be able to set up and maintain a great Nano.
Good Luck,
Keep us posted.
