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

can sell your cuttings....

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.
