5 Gallon Tank

Tank: Free
Water: Free
Substrate: $16.99
Plants: Almost All Free except for a couple, estimate spent on plants is $10.00
Filter: $15.00
Lighting: Fixture free. Bulbs are 2x 15W CFL Spiral Bulbs 2pk at walmart for around $8
Heater: $5
DIY Co2 System: Free.


My heavily planted 5G aquarium cost me about $45-$50. Not bad at all for a such a great tank it is.


My most expensive tank was my 55G and it cost me $175 at walmart for everything I needed. Built my own stand with free wood, got free sand from local river. Most of my tanks are handed down, most equipment comes cheap/free/or left over.

I guess i'm just lucky lol.
