How much do you spend on a 10 gallon set up?

[SimplyVibing]

Hi! I’m doing a project at school, where I will design a kit for newbies wanting to get into the hobby. Specifically a 10 gallon kit for a single betta. For graphical representation of how much the experienced aquarist spends on a 10 gal setup, I need to know:

How much do YOU spend on a 10 gal set up?!

Including everything you need minus the betta. I know this isn’t a fresh water forum but it’s great to have some variety! Plus I’m sure y’all started with freshwater. Thanks guys!
