Why small tanks aren't good.

I'd like to know where you got a 10gallon tank for $9.00

All Fish Emporium in Tamarac FL has them for 4.99 this weekend.

The hazzard of adding to an old post...this was almost 5 yrs ago!

Old post or not, there is still a lot of good info on it to at least consider. I would like to add - for anyone starting and just reading this-level the tank - both side to side and front to back. Seems elementary I know, but I just made this stupid mistake. It was absolutely level side to side when I put about 6 inches of water in it. There was a window sill behind it and everything looked great. I build things and my favorite tool is a level, but just before I added more water it dawned on me - I never checked it the other way. Sure glad it did - it was way off!

Really good tip Thyra! Doesn't only belong in the 'small tank' thread .....
