Saltwater Reef Tank Supplies

should i start another saltwater tank?
alright guys i already have a 30 gallon reef and a 5 gallon.
im thinking about doing a 2.5 gallon pico reef?
just because i already have a supplies to start one, i spend about 1 hour of my day with my fish tank care, i have 11 tanks total. but yeah.
1. 20w heater
2. cheap filter with good output
3. 14w lighting
4.extra hawian live sand,
5. caribian live rock.
i have heard there is a very small yellow goby im thinking of keeping too.
i might try a few sps in here?
what do you guys think i should do? i have about 5 years of my life in fish, and plenty of tanks that have been taken care of
SPS is going to be pretty hard to keep in that tank. Most want very high light, high current, and stable water parameters, which are all pretty impossible in the pico reefs. Some LPS and softs would be much easier. It is easy to hand feed corals in the picos, so some low light corals like the sun corals are great, just feed them regularly some brine shrimp and krill.
The small yellow goby you are talking about is the yellow clown goby. There are panda, red, green, and black varients as well. They do grow to about 1.5 inches and ideally would have a minimum of 10 gallons to house them. It is one of the only fish that might do OK in a pico reef because it is so small and inactive, and only one should ever be attempted. Personally I would not put any fish in there and just stick to a pure reef.
