Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

Oops! ;)

I am brand new to saltwater. My son got an 8 gallon bio cube. I know this is too small, but I promised I'd try. I have 1 piece of dead coral for decor and that's it. We hope to have 2 tiny fish and maybe 2 shrimp. We also like hermit crabs. What equipment, substrate would you guys suggest? I'd like to use easy (forgiving) live macro algae to help balance this tank. Please be kind with responses. I have been called names elsewhere and was referred here to learn.
Welcome I’m new here to the hobby as well and everyone here has been a great help.
 
Check out marine collectors. Elliot Lim does all the QT for you and guaranteed “sterile” fish. BRS uses him for their tanks. A little more expensive but he also helps you with a stocking plan and the timing for each species.

These that I got are from there. Couldn’t be happier. I paid 1000 including Delta cargo instead of fedex. He even sent the video of the fish in QT and kept them until they were Fattened up.
Thanks for the recommendation!
