I would say don't get it. After shipping, this thing will probably cost you close to $45.00 and you can get a quarantine tank for much cheaper buy buying it locally. Just pay the $10.00 for a 10 gallon at Wal-Mart, buy a thermometer, a cheap hood and light a few fake plants and some hiding places (clay pots work great). No substrate is needed. Also, the filter on this thing is not what I would want for a q-tank. You can search google for DIY sponge filter and learn how to make a cheap, easy filter. All you need is an airlift tube a sponge, some airline and an airpump. All you do is keep the sponge in your regular tank to keep it biologically seeded and pull it out when you need to. After the fish are quarantined and treated, throw out the sponge and put a new one into your regular tank, then clean out the old tank with bleach or Oxy-Clean and your good to go.
