what kind of pipefish, and what kind of reef (i.e. what other inhabitants)?

Bluestripe pipefish will do fine. Pods would be beneficial but are not required once they start eating mysis. I have a spawning pair in a 10 gallon tank without pods and they are doing great despite sharing the tank with 2 dottybacks and a female Banggai cardinal.
They also have no issues with SPS tank flows. My other pair was before in a high flow SPS tank and they had of all fish there the least issues being out during the blast flow periods.
Janssi pipefish should be good too once they go for mysis.
Dragon face pipefish should be OK in a reef as well, but they need pods.

just be careful they don't get caught in your overflows or powerheads. Make sure you put a screen on them if the slits are too wide.

My bluestripes often hang out near the Jebao powerheads but are very careful not to be sucked in. I also did not have any issues with overflows. These guys are actually more aware of the dangers in a tank than most other fish. I lost 4 Pseudochromis fridmani to power head pumps because these idiots liked to explore their insides when they were off.
The pipefish also don't have issues with my carpet anemones.
