Anything about Saltwater?

1. More water means more stable. If you are off by +/- 10% salt added in a 10 gallon you stand a good chance of killing everything where the same ratio in a 100g is less stressful.
2. Emerald crabs can be destructive
3. Pistol shrimp pop their claws to cause shock waves that stun other shrimp so they can eat them.
4. No anemone in that size tank. Like Deadeye said it will move around.
4. Soft corals: toad stool, rasta, colt, shrooms, polyps
5. LPS: Hammer, frogspawn, brains,
6. clown goby, neon gobies
7. Perculas or skunk clowns. Buy 2. You are always guaranteed a pair as the larger will transition to female
8. Peppermint and cleaner shrimp can be beneficial to a reef but be careful as they can pick on corals
9. Obtain from LFS or check out Unique Coral
I have been out of reef tanks for almost 15yrs so corals that were available no longer are or corals that weren't are and those we didn't recommend to anyone are now successfully kept. ORA out of Florida captive raises a good selection of fish too. Not all LFS carry ORA but you may be able to convince them to make an order.

Ok. Sounds like maybe I should get a large freshwater tank instead. Eventually, I would like to have a Saltwater Aquarium. The reason I would want a micro aquarium is that I think Micro Aquariums look better than large aquariums. Instead, I should just get a 75+ gallon tank. But those Coral Crouchers are SOOOO CUTE!!!!

Edit: Also, since I am new to fish keeping, I will probably end up killing the fish, from what you guys said about the salt and water parameters.

An option is going without corals, and starting with damsels (specifically yellow tails or azures) or clowns. They are among the easiest saltwater fish and very hardy. As time progresses you can add coral and other more sensitive fish. It is a lot of work though.

I think I will just stick with getting a large freshwater tank, and then as time progresses, save up for a larger reef tank. Maybe 75 gallons or something like that.

You can still do those smaller fish in a larger setting. You can be successful at keeping a micro reef it does require diligence though on water changes and accuracy when measuring salt. If you pursue this idea get a refractometer once properly calibrated they are the BEST way to measure salinity.
