Thinking of converting my 5 gallon aquatop into a saltwater tank. Pros and cons? I’ve never kept corals before and have a small pair of clowns that I’m thinking of moving to this tank. Any suggestions on filters (there’s a 3 stage filter currently with the tank), atos, skimmers? Tips for success? Share your nanos ad well!

If it were me i wouldn't use a skimmer id just do weekly 50% water changes. I wouldn't even dose. Its so small water changes are cheap enough to daily! Imo.
