Ok so how does this sound for my first set-up:
Standard 20 gallon glass tank
Emperor 280 BIO-Wheel Filter
Tropical Isle Tahtian Moon Sand (20 Lbs.)
Stone Tripod Hideaway
Hygrophila
Foxtail
Cabomba
Hairgrass (6")
Freshwater Master Test Kit
10 Soft Mesh Fish Nets
The total was 170.00$ (Which is good, because I was aiming for a max of 200.)
So by the time I get my repord card I think I'll have enough. That doesn't include the livestock though, which I am going to save up for while my tank is cycling.
