Default Cost per gallon for a planted tank?

No one buys mine, because I'm just starting out, and dont have enough plants to
sell...(all the cuttings from one tank are filling up the other) But many
people on these newgroups trade the cuttings in at their LFS for cash, or store
credit.

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
