Anybody know of a cheap 5 gallon tank at Wal-mart possibly? They sell the mini-bowl for 35$ but I don't really want that filter but it may be my only choice.

you could get a reguler tank and a hood for about $30

Walmart here has the Marineland Eclipse Hex 5 with a Bio-wheel filter and compact fluorescent light for $29.95 (correction one of mine had the Compact fluorescent bulb in it and the other set still had the old style incandescent bulb) It is an excellent tank and the folks at Marineland really stand behind there stuff. I thought I had a problem with a light and they sent me one and got the wrong one. Then they sent another one (the right one ) and a couple weeks later I had another one arrive. I called them and they said they did not want me to send it back so now I have extra lighting hoods for the 5 gallon and the 3 gallon hospital tank. (They didn't have me send the wrong one back either - they said I could donate it to a local pet store, but we don't have any and Walmart doesn't sell parts so I kept them.) Just be sure to register the equipment on the website when you get it so it will be warrantied if you do get it.

Really, I like hex tanks too, I'll have to see if mine sells that, though knowing my wal-mart you never know what they have. Thanks a lot

I had to look WAY UP ON TOP. They don't keep them down with the rest of the tanks. I guess they want you to think all they have is the expensive kind.
