It would depend on the size of setup you're going for....
Basic stuff would include: Tank stand(optional) filter(internal/external) lights CO2(optional) base fert gravel other accesories 2ft would cost less than 200.... |

You must ask yourself what types of plants will you be keeping. Some stemmed plants reach the surface of the water in as short as a few days for a standard height 2ft tank. You'll need taller tank.
Same goes for lighting, some like it bright and some not. |

I just set up my new 3 ft tank here is the estimate on the equipment:
1. 3 L CO2 tank with solenoid $185. 2. Canister filter Atman CF1000 $75 3. Fan $20 4. Substrate Lapis sand 2 bag $40 ($20 each) 5. JBL Base Fertilizer 2 bag $28 ($14 each) 6. T5 lighting 4 X 39 Watt $100 7. CO2 diffuser $16. Expensive? not when you compare to the joy of watching your plant grow.. Happy planting.. |
