Yep no reason why not. Have a look through the pinned topics Also check if it's had any copper based meds in it if it's second hand as copper is lethal to inverts

You can...just remember the smaller the tank the more 'unstable it is'. 7G's is do-able...I wouldn't consider it a 'starter' . I would never deter someone from wanting to do a small tank tho'. I would HIGHLY recommend tho' that you don't just wade into it. I would read and PLAN THIS CAREFULLY. Know how you will maintain temperature control since 7G's is very susceptible to ambient temperature. Good luck. SH

I agree. You need to know what you're doing with it..but anything (within sensible reason) is possible if you do your research and have the time and patience to do it properly Just don't expect a smaller tank to be cheaper or easier If anything it will end up costing you more and being alot more work than a bigger tank.
