Hello,

I'd just like to know what online store you would recommend to purchase a 5-10 gallon, glass, frameless, cube aquarium.

Thanks!
Mike

ADA makes the 30-C, which works out to a 12" square. Holds about 7 gallons. It's $57, plus shipping, but it is frameless.

Here's the link. www.adgshop.com

Thanks.. that's perfect... frameless is good! I just have to decide on a filter now. Any recommendations?

alot of the tanks in the ADG top 10 use a hydor prime 10
there is also a zoomed 501

My vote is for an Eheim 2213 or a Hydor Prime 10. Probably the Prime over the Eheim.

I was hoping to find a nice compact HOB. I'm looking to set this up on a desk, so I would prefer to have a more self contained system.

A TOM Rapids mini-canister hangs on the back.

I have the Azoo Palm filter and it works great. Really good current for such a small, compact HOB. You can also adjust the water flow, too.

One might want more flow in a 7 gallon than the palm can provide. Flow is key.

If you have basic tool knowledge can you make your own mini-canister. You could even adjust it to hang on the back. There's a few DIY canister filter threads in the DIY section.

What about a mattenfilter? Either in that tank, or get a slightly larger tank....

I've read conflicting reports with some people saying the Palm isn't enough, and some saying that it is too much, even with the knob turned all the way down.

ACFishTank I'm also getting an ADA tank and requested comments about the 6 filters I'm considering. Take a look at my post and maybe you will see a filter you want to use for yours. I've included links.

Thanks! I'll check out your post. I like the small size of the Palm, but was not impressed with the flow rate. I'll see what I can find.
