That's exactly why I decided to go with 10G tank... very cheap, I got mine
at (don;t laugh) Wall-Mart, and if I screw it up, then I just toss it and
get another one. I don't think that they make them from temperate glass,
so if needed I could probably drill on it.



I am not sure if this recovering 10g is even worth the time.
In my area, West from Chicago, ten gallon tanks sell in
retail below $10. I got one recently for my baby-clownfish for
$8.45 at "Pet Supply". PetCo and PetSmart sell it for around $9.99...
