hi..

i may not have a really small tank but what do you intend to put in you really small tank? dink it'd be rather restrictive cuz nothing you cannot keep many things in your tank. actually i also have the same intention but shall wait till my current 40g tank mature before embarking on new project.

Harlequin guys can maintain their tanks regularly like daily syphoning or weekly water changes.. Can you? They have cycled 'seawater' readily available.. Do you? Can you afford to maintain the tank? If so.. how long are you going to do that? that's about 54 water changes per year.. How long will you be able to keep that tank? Think long term.. Not just that minute's rush..

Actually thast tank u see is for show only....ever saw them removing corals not doing well into their quarantine tank and putting fresh ones in.So it may look nice but not doing that well.

Never trust store tanks.... everything always looks so fresh, so new... but yet everytime u go something changes... (throw out dying coral put in new one??)

Besides, we are looking at long term tanks...

my friend had a real small tank...its 1ft X 1/4ft X 1/2 feet.....keeping 1 small lion and 1 octopus.. , in the end the lion was food for the octopus and the octopus died maybe due to the lion's poison ....

NOW BARE TANK.............

1ft X 1/4ft X 1/2 feet... Looks like a betta (freshwater) tank to me.

There are a couple of members with 2.5 gallon tanks etc....i think people do it more for the challenge that most say it can't be done....but also due to space and cash constraints. You'll be surprised with how beautiful some tanks turn out....

here's an example:
