I'm looking to make a rfa and sexy shrimp tank in a half-gallon I have. Perusing Amazon I found this pump. Is there anything about it that would be I'll advised for a saltwater application? Their q and a says no issue and I'm like to trust it.

I mean,you can personally test it for that price. I would personally go with a Sicce mini pump or something of that size.
The price of the pump isn't the concern, it's putting something that will corrode toxins into less thatn half a gallon of water and nuke a competitively expensive tank.
Personally I would go with:

Sicce Syncra Nano Circulation Pump https://a.co/d/fewihEe

or

SICCE MICRA Compact Aquarium Pump, 90 GPH, for submerged use in freshwater and saltwater https://a.co/d/2d0PQsK
I was looking at something like that, but the tank is a 5" cube and I don't want half to be dedicated to flow. I might puzzle how to make an HOB or sump.

Yea, I understand the space issue, I am building a 3.5 gallon pico, so I have a bit more space, and the sicce pump fits pretty good.
