Hi, first post here. Just got a 29 gallon tank and other gear a few weeks ago, figure I may as well throw my list in. Most of it purchased locally from LFS. Didn't want to buy a used tank, never know what's been in them, imo.

tank, light, filter, heater, thermo, initial treatment chems = Aqueon 29G boxed kit, $135.
gravel = $19/bag of medium sized pea gravel.
plants (Crypts, Chilensis, Cabomba) = $20. Hey, I like plants.
'props' = $20. 3 wood-look items from Walmart.
fish = $6. 6 zebra danios to cycle tank in with.
tank stand = free, unused TV stand with waterproof plastic-finish top.
food = about $12. Got a few kinds because I'm not sure what is best yet.
So about $200.
