It seems to me that getting a 20L tank and a few pieces of plexiglass and a tube of aquarium safe silicone for around 45$'s would be the cheapest way to go.You could even use a 30H and come out cheaper than 94$'s.A small fuge is a good thing a big fuge is a great thing.

I would buy the supplies to build my own, but unfortunately these 6 day work weeks dont allow for much freetime(wifey's got to get her share). so id rather just buy one prebuilt.
