It can be done. There are a few members here (OrionGirl and Caz) who have very nice 10-gallon "nano-reefs." Several inches of sand, about 15 lbs of live rock, and 50-100 watts of PC lights will do the job nicely. It will be easier to keep witout fish, but it is possible.

Here's one thread about caz's tank.http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=30152

You might have a look at nano-reef-com to get some ideas.

nano reef

I must add that those mentioned have a "bunch" of experience at the hobby, a ten gallon salt tank in my understanding is a very "touchy: system. Just some advice

I generally see that most of the "pros" suggest at least a 20 gallon for a clown fish. There may be some gobies that can take to a 10 gallon much more easily, but generally 10 and smaller is just for inverts.
