A peco could be a way to get a tank up and running cheaply.

Excess heat is more likely to be a problem with a peco so you usually don't need a heater.

Softies are a great recommendation because they are less sensitive to change which is hard to avoid in a peco.

what kind of stuff can i have in a pico. I'm thinking of 1 seahorse and 1 clown and some assorted softies. would this work?

No, the amount of food you'd have to feed a seahorse would quickly overwhelm anything under 20 gallons.

I guess my question to you is "how confident are you with your experience?"

Remember just because someone does something, doesn't mean it should be done. If I was you I'd go with a 10-20g nano to start with. That way (if your a fish person like me) you will have more choices of what you could do available to you.
