Wanting to start 1 gallon salt water..?

[DarkLies]

Okay, so, after I put my fry into the community (and probably the betta) and the snail into the pond tank, I want to start a saltwater tank. With my 1 gallon.
Is this even possible?
And if it is, what can i do with it? I'm just experimenting with different tank types/tank setups.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

(btw, getting a larger tank is out of the question) =[

not the best idea but I am sure people have tried it... not the best idea for a first SW tank cause it may be too hard to bother with.

I don't think you'd be able to keep parameters stable enough in a tank that size. You certainly couldn't keep any fish. You might get away with a shrimp, but even that's risky.

People do it a lot. Check out Nano-Reef.com - The source for nano reef aquarium information. The pico section. From what I've read it's hard but people have BEAUTIFUL small tanks.

Yea, I wasn't planning on having any fish or shrimp in there, just a piece of coral or something
How hard is a larger saltwater to keep up?
And thanks a lot for the site Stillness!! =]

Just as with freshwater, the bigger the tank the easier it is to maintain. But hunt around on nano-reef. There are a lot of really experienced people with beautiful. Just keep in mind it's going to be pricey! IMO, while tiny picos can be rewarding (and VERY cool), if you have the space/funds I would go with a 10g. lots cooler with more and better stocking options.
Best of luck!

Haha, the only word that caught my attention = pricey...
Maybeee, I'll just stick with the fry and betta XD
