WOW looking at some of the prices (although unless I look at a conversion page for Euro to canadian) it looks like I got an excellent deal.
I don't remember my 10 gal it was 7 years ago.
My 25 gal I got as a kit and I was very pleased with what I got in it. Also I am still adding stuff to it.
All of this is in Canadian Pricing
Tank, Hood, Fluorescent Lamp Heater, Filter System, 1 Filter, Thermometer, plus a little packet of stress stuff and tap water condition (which I don't need that) = $100
Stand = $79 (plus about $10 for 1inch dowling to make it stronger)
Substrate = $20-25
Plants = $20-30 so far
Air Bubbler for under the gravel = $5 pump I already had
So far that's $250, I am pleased with it.
My LFS got a huge deal on 25 gal because they bought a whole skid of the ones with kits so they were able to give us the deal.
