I've had an empty 5.5 gallon aquarium sitting around my house for a while, and since my only experience so far has been with freshwater, I was curious how difficult it would be to establish a small coral reef and possibly a crustacean cove in that tank (since I realize this is too small for most saltwater fish). Could somebody give me a basic run-down of what exactly I would need to successfully establish a saltwater environment in this tank? How often will I need to change the water in such a small aquarium? Are there any mechanisms I need besides a skimmer, heater, liverock and lights? And what is the minimum cost by which establishing this aquarium could be accomplished? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
