Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

I am brand new to saltwater. My son got an 8 gallon bio cube. I know this is too small, but I promised I'd try. I have 1 piece of dead coral for decor and that's it. We hope to have 2 tiny fish and maybe 2 shrimp. We also like hermit crabs. What equipment, substrate would you guys suggest? I'd like to use easy (forgiving) live macro algae to help balance this tank. Please be kind with responses. I have been called names elsewhere and was referred here to learn.
one dead coral didn't know lr ls or anything and now your growing sps. And almsot 500 pages later your helping others.

Yes but you can't teach hospitality to a Southern Lady...red head or not! They either have it or they don't! After almost 500 pages @Katrina71 she must have had it...that and that Hospitality Award. Bless your heart! LOL!

Ummm. Have you seen my tank? It scream new guy.

There is a high school here that you have to be invited to. It is the L&N Stem Academy in Knoxville. I'd like to know what y'all think about trying to get Andrew in there or letting him finish with his peers.
