question 1 is saltwater nano reefs hard? i dont neglect water testing and water changes.

With salt water the smaller the tank that harder it is. You have less water volume so anything that goes wrong is much more intense then a larger system. Also water evaporates leaving you salinity higher so you always have to top off with fresh water.
Don't take this as me saying to not go for it, as long as you are ontop of your water quality you will be fine.

x2 on that! I'm very new and take readings every day. EVERY DAY! Water steady and the reef has begun in my 10g... Stick with it and good luck!
