Help with cheap desktop tank ideas

[Reef Keeper 18]

So I'd like to do a cheap desktop tank and I'm looking for ideas on what tank would work? I could prolly do a cheap petco/petsmart tank with no filtration and just changing the water frequently. I would do an under five gallon tank and have just an angler in it.

First i dont think it would be right to keep an angler in anything smaller than 10 gallons.

as for a tank i built this for basically nothing: https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/nano-reefs/101501-project-frankenstein.html

I'm talkin a real small one, and not keeping when its bigger. It'd be a species only tank

I have been running an aqueon 2.6g pico tank on my desk now for 3 months. I like the tank, in addition to the tank I had to buy- a 50w heater, aqualifter & timer for top-off and a Rapid LED night-light kit (for blue actinics). I change the water every 2 weeks, and have only coral, crabs/shrimp in it so I dont have to worry about feeding it over the weekend.
