Good Day:

I would say an Innovative Marine Nuvo 8 gallon all in one tank would be a nice fit. I have one in my daughter's room with various hermits, shrimp and a couple small nano fish. The stock light will be able to support some macro algae, green star polyps, mushrooms and rics. They don't grow too fast though. For $150 more you would get a 16 gallon with 2 stock lights.

I use GFO, carbon, 1 package of Purigen with filter sponges to catch the larger debris. I downsized to the one tank right now and have maxed out what I have in there for livestock. I do a 15% W.C weekly. I use RO/DI for my makeup and saltwater mix.

I did have an issue with cyanobacteria last and treated successfully with Chemiclean. However, I don't know how "low maintenance" you were thinking.

Later,

Michael
