LIke others have inevitably said - it depends on what you are going
to grow. I sometimes think about building something to put my few
Nepenthes in, but the ones I have (5, of which N. alata is the only
one with a name) look like they would outgrow most tanks in a very
short time. I know most people say N. alata is a weed (suits first
time Nepenthes growers!) - mine already dangles several feet
downwards and sideways from its hanging pot.
On the other hand, many sundews, Dionaea, Cephalotus etc, would fit
in a small tank, but then I don't need a tank at all for these.
