There are many threads on the dangers of small tanks... I think we would all agree if this is your first saltwater tank to start a bit bigger. Research this section for more info

That being said are you going to do corals? If so the star is out. Fish wise you do have a few options. Here is a link to the "nano fish" section of liveaquaria

You can narrow it down by tank size, temperment, etc. I know clownfish will work (technically they are damsels) however be weary of having more one damsel in a tank as they are know for aggressiveness. Goby's are always cool additions and I love mine (sand sifter). The link will show you a bunch you can keep. Plus of course shrimp and other inverts

Equipment wise, a quality skimmer is a good idea. Perhaps a HOB filter for your tank as well ( I use an AC110 on a 30g)Live rock will be a great biological benefit. A powerhead is a good idea too. Then of course lighting but that depends if you are going to do coral or not
