It's very discouraging to hear that this won't work....
Oh well maybe ill get that biocube for x-mas and hopefully that will be low maintenance.

Ok...so what do I do? Can I leave the air stone out and just leave it alone? I already have a few inhabitants... A fancy brittle star (hitchhiker) and some stony coral fragments (also hitchhikers)...
It may seem like an easier option, but tanks this small usually don't offer the options and benefits of a larger one. If you really would like to learn and put in the effort to partake in this great hobby, I would recommend doing as much research as possible and then starting with a medium sized tank and easier inhabitants.
As for this tank, you could keep the star and Sps fragments in a friend's or LFS tank until you get another tank set up.
You could try a 10, or something similar, or the biocube if that seems appealing. One thing I can say is that no reef tank will be particularly low maintenance, as these delicate marine creatures will require very specific conditions and careful attention.
Don't be discouraged! It sounds daunting, but when you get into it the work and time commitment become well worth the time spent admiring your tank inhabitants .
