Small saltwater tanks are much more difficult to keep than larger ones. A 5 gallon is not something that I want to attempt even with over seven years experience. Even a 20 gallon saltwater could be challenging for a beginner to keep, and is still considered to be a nano tank. If you really want to try saltwater, probably a 50 gallon would be a good starting point. The greater water volume of a large tank makes it a more stable system less prone to sudden water quality problems. In the long run, spending a bit more to set up a larger tank will probably be a more positive experience with better longevity of your livestock. Do lots of reading about what you need to do to get started, then you will be better able to make an informed decision if this is the right choice for you.
