i enjoy my freshwater and want to get a 55gal here soon
i considered turning my 30 into saltwater once i had the funds an the 55 was set up. i wanted to try my hand at saltwater so i figured a really small tank would be perfect to try it and keep costs down while i learn. it's only 6gallons btw :hs:

It was my 2nd small marine setup. First is the one at my gf's place, gal. with relatively cheap fish (damsels, clowns, crabs). It's been good for almost a year or so. In the beginning, no one told me how critical live rock was...so the fish just kept dying.
Contrary to what people think, a smaller tank requires more work and time. Water changes should be more frequent than say a 55.
Little changes have big impacts on small tanks.
You could get by with just a few hardy marine fish and an abundance of live rock.
It was fun for the first month or so but it quickly lost its novelty.
My 75 and 38 gallon tanks are keeping me occupied.
