I'm looking for a tank for a dwarf puffer. I'm pretty sure I'm going to pick up an Tetra LED kit 3G for shrimp.

I want a 5g rimless tank (can be bigger) for under 40$ shipped. Ideas?
 
Check out Mr. Aqua or TruAqua tanks. The TruAquas in particular are very good quality.
 
all i can say is, the tetra 3 g will not work. the filter it comes with is crap and you will still need a heater. dps create a lot of waste and need a good filter and 3 gallons is too small imo

Oh no, the 3 is going to be a shrimp tank and I'm putting on an Azoo palm filter:).
 
Azmodan is correct...those turaqua high clarity tanks are phenomenal in quality. Perfect silicone work, beveled edge glass.... they're simply a work of art! IMHO, the quality is on par with a much more expensive ADA tank.
 
These CAD lighting ZEN tanks are also high clarity starfire glass... they're new to the market but the SCAPE club has been stirring up a lot of buzz with a group buy. You'll start seeing some aquascapes with these tanks too. Price for the 5g is less than $40. Not sure how much shipping will add to that price. They look nice though on the site.

do you have experience getting tanks shipped? i really want to order the one you just posted, but a little worried because I've never personally had a tank shipped

Not from CAD, but I've had the ADA and TruAqua (Aqua top) tanks shipped without problems. Check out the link I just posted...plenty of pics of the shipping box. Anyway, they're usually shipped with insurance from UPS ground. So there's no risk if it's damaged.

it doesn't say the exact iron percent, just low iron.
