10 gallon tank
tank kit: $65 (Tank, hood, light, filter, fish net, and a digital thermometer)
gravel: $12
heater: $25
water conditioner: $10

driftwood: $10
filter replacements: $12 (6 pack)
bucket and a cup: $3
gravel vac: $10
background: $3
filter-max prefilter: $20 (with replacement sponges)
live plants: $18
neon tetra: $3 (paid for 9 and got 12)
albino bristlenose pleco: $5 (from craigslist)
the whole set up costed me $216 (man i didnt realize i spent so much money on such a small thing) planning to buy freshwater master test kit next week and there is no stand as it sits on a tv stand (i figured this is ok since it is a small tank and tv can weigh about as heavy as a small tank)
the cost of food is $5 / month
the cost of electricity $10 / month
hoping to upgrade to 36 bow front tank with the stand soon which will cost me about $400
