Aquarium equipment budget builder
Free aquarium equipment builder. Enter tank size + budget tier and get a complete recommended equipment list with prices: tank, stand, filter, heater, light, substrate, accessories.

Configure + click Build my equipment list.
How it works
Given tank type + size + budget tier, this builder returns a curated equipment list + price estimate. Prices reflect 2026 retail averages and shift quarterly. Items marked optional can be skipped; items marked essential should not.
This is a starting point. Actual builds vary by deal availability + room dimensions + your existing gear. Use the price ranges as ballpark, not quote.
