What about having one cardinalfish in a 10 gallon saltwater?

I have an extra 10 gallon and would love to start a SW setup but I have always heard beginners should not do such a small aquarium. What gives?

I bought a wall aquarium fish tank and I'm ecstatic with it. It is a 70" long, 17" tall, and 4.5" deep. Here is what I have in the wall fish tank (for the last year).

1 Tomato Clown, 2 blue damsels, 3 hermit crabs, and a peppermint shrimp. My wall fish tank hasn't had any problems and the people have been absolutely awesome at helping me.

I change 20% of my water every 2 weeks. And, I add Prime and Stresszyme - I HIGHLY recommend adding these according to their directions. My wall fish tank looks like an 50 gallon aquarium and my ph, salinity, and all other levels have remained in check.
