I am interested in reptiles. I am wondering what I should put in there. I would like it to be less maintenance than fish and for it to not outgrow the aquarium. It would also need to be not ridiculously expensive.

The base, ends, and back are to be made of slate which costs $1.35 sq/ft, and the front is to be made of special reinforced glass that costs $2.35 sq/ft. What should be the length and width of the aquarium to minimize the cost of materials, and what is the minimum cost to build the aquarium?

The base of this tank is about 6" above the floor level. If I set up a canister filter at floor level (about 6" lower than the base of the aquarium), is that sufficient for the the filter to work effectively?

I have heard varying reasons to have the light on or off, so are there any real guidelines to running the aquarium light? The tank is in a moderate light area (Some sunlight from across the room, but no windows near by).
Thanks!!

Anyone know what size aquarium I need? Thanks.

The aquarium will have a 5 inch bubble stone and a 15 gallon air pump. The aquarium will be heated to 78 degrees. There will be no live plants. I am leaning towards getting an aqua-tech 5-15 gallon box filter, but im not sure. I have heard alot of good things about bio-wheels. Im completely lost over wut kind of filter i should have. You guys always like specifics, hope that was specific enough, lol. Thanks for any answers!
