You can use the glass tank you have now with overhead light until this stuff arrives. Here are links to what you need as a basic setup. They will love it.

You need 2 feet of this. THe 32qt are 17" wide so this allows you to take it up both sides. When you check out select the option to let them wire it for you.
Sterilite 32qt (I know everyone is going to say its too big but just please follow this easy list)

Pail (This is a 12qt but they make a 5qt which is what I use in my 32qt) (Get the 5qt - should be near the dish rack stuff in kitchens)

Simple instructions:
Take a razor blade and trim 5 inches roughly from the bottom
With it inverted cut an "entryway" that is just enough for it to get through.
Take a lighter and around the cut edges heat them. They will smooth out. I use a pen torch.
Let cool (5mins) and wash and there is a 1.50 hide they will love.
This is around 55.00 after shipping for the tape and taxes. All you need to do is line with paper towels and fill the water bowl.
GOOD LUCK
