thats a high estimate too...I use diy co2 ($3), and once you get the plants..you
can sell your cuttings....

Hi
I'm curious to know how much I might expect to spend on a new planted tank
set-up. Is there a universally accepted cost average? (I've read in marine
systems you might expect to pay $30-$50/gallon).
I'm considering; Laterite,C02 guage and canister, VHOs and perhaps even
MH...
Thanks for any info - Daniel
