i keep lookin at the small saltwater tanks at my lfs and i think id like to try one with some damsels and umm a cleaner wwrasse? i dunno if thats what its called but its jaque on finding nemo anyway is this really hard to do? id be changing my incandescent hood on my tank to a florescent one and adding some live rock to it what else do i need? some kindof special substrate or something im not going to do this yet but hopefully after alot of reading maybe by the end of the summer i just wanna know if its really hard to do

Not especially but I would advise you to start off with a bunch of reading here. Damsels and a cleaner wrasse are not good nano fish in my opinion (cleaners should be left in the sea, damsels generally to aggressive)

i called my girlfriend to check on this...jacques is apparently a cleaner shrimp (not wrasse) which would actually be fine in a nano.

BUT, before you get going there is a lot to learn...i would start by reading some of the other tank setup threads in this forum

clownfish are generally considered good nano candidates, i think its the true perculas (sp?) that are the best, but i may be wrong. but as others have said, just do lots and lots of research before you make any purchases.
