I've had saltwater nano, (5-10 gallon) tanks before. I've also kept a 120 gallon salt tank. Let me tell you that smaller tanks take more work than larger tanks. Because the tank is small, it takes a lot more care because little problems for large tanks don't effect the health of the tank as much. Little problems for small tanks are actually big problems because the larger tank has more water so it takes more to harm your tank. Also, you have to keep an eye on the evaporation with smaller tanks and have to add water more often. When you have to add water to the tank, watch your salinity. When water evaporates, most of the salt stays in the tank so you must add freshwater otherwise your tank will be too salty. Hope you understand this and good luck, The Doctor.

Go bigger, the larger the tank the easier to keep.
