you really should look into that link i sent to you up near the top of this thread....it's a 12 gallon tank with good lighting, a built in filter, comes with a powerhead and a heater, all for 89 bucks...it might be worth the extra few bucks for that since you're going to spending a lot on the little tank you have now, but it wont be as much of a pain to keep...if you don't have the space thats one thing but if you ever have the opportunity, look into that 12 gal nano cube
