I suggest you read up on nano tanks in particular. Alternatively, if you were to choose to go bigger, the 10 gallon may be useful for quarantine, or as a sump/refugium.
Alternatively, if you are new to fishkeeping in general, a 10gallon freshwater tank may be a good first step, and you can get the nitrogen cycle and pH under control, rather than going straight to Ca, K Mg issues.

i have had freshwater fish tanks for years i am very well experienced with them i have read allot on how smaller saltwater tanks can prove to be very difficult but i have also seen people say that as long as your doing frequent water changes and checking parameters daily that smaller tanks are fine and those things im willing to do i have the tank i just want to get it set up and running i dont want to put anything in it just want to have it going so i can try to keep parameters good if i can do that for a couple months i will then put something in it im looking for the best items to use on the tank as in filter, substrate, lighting etc etc and what different things do i need if i want a reef tank or just a saltwater tank
