Stand Alone Fuge

I am thinking of starting just a little SW tank, 2-5 gallons. Would it be neat to just have a little LS, some macroalgae, and have a tank full of "bugs?"
What kind of lights would I need?

Maybe, I could start the live sand bed with a scoop of sand from a few people on here. :thinking:
Yay or Nay?

OceanDream...lots of folks keep small tanks with success.We have a forum dedicated to them...check out the "Nano Forum"... folks over there can offer lots of experience and advice.But why settle for just LS macro algaes and "bugs"? Look into the little nanos some of the members here keep...they have success keeping much more diversity.
By the way I like the pic in your avatar...do you happen to have a full size version or maybe know where I can locate a full size version?

Thanks for your reply NM reef.

I just want something neat, that isnt "high maintenance." I have seen some very pretty nano tanks, but they seem pricey and "hard" (for lack of a better word ).
I like my avatar too, thanks.
Full size isn't big enough to fit a desktop, but here's a link to it http://www.steib.org/multimedia/PICS...SY/dolphin.jpg

That's too big for me.

I just want something small.
