Fish Fanatic
I'm a FW person so I'm a little bit confused by all the extra equipment and stuff for SW. If I set up a 5.5 US gallon tank with a heater, light, and normal filter would that be alright or do I need to add much more filtration or a skimmer? I just want to keep it simple and small. I'm thinking maybe a few hermit crabs or a shrimp and it's stocked. I don't really want to get into corals until I have the basic maintenance down really well. Weekly water changes and frequent testing are fine with me. I have read through the FAQ Im just a little confused as to what I need for a small lightly stocked tank.
I'm going small because I'm looking to find an apartment and will hopefully be moving at some point. Most leases say no large tanks. I don't have a car so moving a large tank or even getting the equipment for it is a PITA too.
