Would you invest in the 20gals or just stick with established 10gals? It's really tempting me. Thinking logically and realistically...what would you do?

That's a tough one! Aqueon Hoods with flourescent lights for 20gallons are like $40, a filter would be $25 and youd need a 100-150w heater, at minimum another $20. So like $100+ total. I think at that point itd still cost less to buy the kits for them off sale. I'd rather stay with an established 10g and save the money

it is really beneficial to people who already have extra hoods,lights etc. as far as i've seen this sale is bi-annual. end of june and end of december. we'll see if this rings true in 6 months. the mini bows are part of another sale, that happens to be going on at the same time. not part of the $1/gallon sale. the sale includes assorted rectangle tanks 10-55 gallons.

I am definitely going Friday to buy a 10 gallon tank for $10 b4 tax about $12 after tax so I can get everything set for my male betta that I will get in a few months. I am anxious.

i meant accountant...

I take that back. I would rather spend the $30 and get the kit than spend $10 for just the tank then have to spend more to get the rest of the stuff. no thanks.
