IMO, pico reef is the most ecomical and easy setup any one with enough experience could do,

Stocking however, need to depends on a persons personality,

My favourite are

Sexy shrimp

Anemone shrimp

Bumblebee shrimp

Tube worm

Bongo shrimp

Harlequin shrimp?( tthis shrimp sometime gets huge)

And finally red ruby dragonet.

Smaller tank for marine is not as easy as a bigger tank. However it is possible with proper care

What tank and equipment do u intent to use ?

Not as a first tank. Because of it's small water volume, it's parameters fluctuate. If u have a main tank to fall back on, allowing the corals to 'recuperate', while u stabilise the pico then I think it should be able to work. Just my personal opinion la :).

Honestly, my first pico is basically one of my first saltwatet tank, it was just for fun but it soon proved more than a dull tank, the equipment i use is a powerhead connecting to a build in sponge compartment, and a led light, the whole tank come in one cost 20$. I can tell you that this tank is very hardy,the original idea is i bought an anemone shrimp( which is still alive) and a tube worm, i just dont have a extra tank so i put them into the pico. But as time goes by, i pay more attention to the tank and start focusing on clean up crew, currently comprises 2 nass snail. Something i should tell you(please dont insult me,) the water in the tank is 50% of the water i used for the tank the very moment i started it. I can count the time i did water change with one hand! And the tank has been up at least 4 month and it is still contaning the shrimp and tube worm.
