GOOD QUESTION!
A visitor asked me how much I had invested in the 20g tank I set up recently. I'm not done with the investment, but the following table is a good snapshot of my costs. Keep in mind that I bought items that I didn't need, for that extra aesthetic oomph.
How much do I expect to invest beyond this? Not sure. Rare livestock and uncommon plants could reach the $200-$300 mark. Although I'm mostly done with equipment, I can imagine spending another $200 for a glass inflow pipe and other stuff.

| $69.99 | canister filter |
