Total setup costs - approx. $141.00 (unless I missed something)

Lets see this is after about 6 months...

20g tank : Free
Substrate: $15.00
Live Sand: $15.00
Live Rock: $100.00
PC Lighting: $250.00
DIY Hood $30.00 (including all supplies to make it)
heater : $15.00
powerheads: $40.00 (3)
filter: $90.00
livestock: $220.00
Protein Skimmer: $35.00
Power Bar: $10.00
Oh and a big bucket of salt: $55.00

Not including test kits... and other minor things.. its about $875.00
About $43.75 per gallon.

Far below what I think a large setup would cost.
