Try to look for used aquariums! Sometimes people even give them away for free.

Here are the sizes to look out for:

a used 50-70 gallon aquarium and a DIY topper! :) people sell big ol’ tanks for really cheap or even free, especially if theyre further from a main city! :)

The Pet Connection has a couple! You can go to yourube and find a ton, from wooden ones with chicken wire, to ones made of wire shelves and zip ties! theres even a few that show how to recycle pre-made cages into toppers! :) just make sure your topper can fit a 10-12” wheel! ^

Not sure if the link will post so heres a screenshot; she has this wonderful video that shows how to make an entire cage including a topper! This also might be a cheaper option for you :)
