How much does an aquarium cost? The cost of a tank depends on several factors, such as the size of the aquarium, the type of fish and the amount of equipment needed.

The cost of an aquarium also depends on whether it is a ready-made set (aquarium + filter + light + possibly base cabinet) or whether you buy each part separately and possibly even have the tank custom-made. Especially for beginners, a ready-made set is often more suitable. However, it should be noted that in most sets only an average quality lighting and an internal filter are installed.

For a functioning aquarium with all the necessary materials you should calculate at least 100€. The larger the tank, the more additional items you will need. Thus, a large, elaborately designed aquarium can quickly cost several thousand euros.

Therefore, if you want to save some money, you should buy a used aquarium. Because often through a hobby abandonment a set with all the necessary accessories is sold for the fraction of a new acquisition. So you can also buy a complete aquarium for under 100€.
