you would probably get some good ideas lookin in the nano forum. If it were me, i would do either a zoanthid themed tank or a mushroom themed tank. With either of those options you might be able to go skimmerless, Get 3 or 4 small fish. You could get by with T5s or PCs for lighting. But if this is your first tank you might want to consider upgrading to something bigger for stability, maybe a 40 breeder or a standard 75. you could always turn the 20 gallon into a sump.

well id suggest you let us know what your long term plans are, we can then suggest livestock for you, your comment stating id like fish and coral can it be done is a little vague, you can keep several types of fish and corals in a 20, although you are limited due to size, a little more info would help
