Cheap Tank

[JayK1320]

Okay, my sister wants to setup a cheap and easy tank. I told her get a 10g with a light, small heater and small filter.

The tank will be for a few mollies only. Its got to be easy, and as maintance free as possible.

I am looking for suggestions and prices on equipment.

Here is what I got so far....

10 gallon from petsmart or walmart with a light - $30ish all told, tank, hood, light.
Substrate - $5
Heater, not sure what brand - $15ish
Filter? I have no clue on this

I am thinking 5-10 mollies/platys/guppies

And a snail for clean up. I want something that wont reporduce like crazy, so if there is a snail you can keep one of that will just help to keep the alge at bay and help the tank stay clean. Suggestions?

I figure you can get everything you need for under $100...

second that! and if you want it to be less work to maintain either go bare bottom or get a piece of slate rock cut to the size of the bottom and silicone it down. Option two looks awesome! and the crap has no where to hide
