If you're going to set up a 60 reasonably soon anyway I would just forget about the nano/pico entirely. A 60 will be a lot more forgiving in terms of stability than a nano/pico so you'll end up saving money and frustration in the long run. Just go with the 60 and start slowly (imagine its a pico/nano if it helps). The problem with really small tanks is if anything goes wrong, it goes really, really wrong and you lose most of your livestock. In a larger volume tank that rarely happens because there's enough water to buffer the effects of whatever potential mistakes you'll make.
