Anyone here maintain a nano reef?
Thinking about starting a small coral reef with a fish or 2
something like this, an all in one kit

https://www.amazon.com/Coralife-Fish-BioCube-Aquarium-Starter/dp/B06WP9Q6CZ/ref=pd_di_sccai_6/130-3587781-2535106?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B06WP9Q6CZ&pd_rd_r=dccc37fa-62c7-4d66-8aea-c3063d021889&pd_rd_w=oOmKI&pd_rd_wg=HBrjJ&pf_rd_p=c9443270-b914-4430-a90b-72e3e7e784e0&pf_rd_r=TZ5D1X70CC9J8YSN7EKG&psc=1&refRID=TZ5D1X70CC9J8YSN7EKG

I m aware a small tank is more challenging than a large one but for space needs and because i dont like lugging tons of water a smaller one is preferable for me.
How much time (after initial setup and cycling) will be required on a weekly basis to mantain?

Someone offered to sell me a saltwater fish tank, which would include the following: a 15 gallon tank, stand, filter, heater, food, salt, cleaner and nets as well as 2 clown fish, one damsel fish and lots of live coral all for $200.
3 questions, 1 assuming the tank and equipment are in standard second-hand condition, is this a good deal or can I get something like this brand new for only a little more? 2 I'm a total beginner and I have no idea what the upkeep is. Around how much time and effort would it take to upkeep such a thing? And 3 would I be able to buy a bigger tank so I can add more fish or is the equipment generally for the size tank it's fitted to? Thanks!

If you're a beginner don't touch saltwater. Also 15 gal is tiny and a nightmare to keep up, actually a lot harder than a bigger one.

In short, you'll spend a lot of money and end up killing everything.

Also no way he successfully has coral with that equipment. He's probably talking about live rock. Stay far away.
