Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Why-Me]

 

[Eeels]

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.

An aqua clear HOB filter. Substrate dry sand. Consider getting a 100 gph powerhead. Maybe 10 pounds of dry rock from your LFS.

Coldest place in the continental US... at least from what I've heard. I've been as far north as Toronto in February... to Niagara falls and even on lake Ontario at night. That's as colder than I ever want to be again.

Also avoid the macro algae
