How It Works

A complete aquarium setup typically costs $10-15 per gallon at mid-range quality. Budget setups can cut that in half by buying used equipment or starter kits. High-tech planted tanks with CO2 add $200-400+ for the CO2 system alone. The ongoing monthly cost (electricity, food, water conditioner) is usually $15-30.
