Cheap rimless 5g?
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.

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.
