That's an odd size for a tank.

What brand of substrate are you planning to use? ADA, Seachem, Dennerle, Gex, Tropica, BorneoWild....etc

You must at least tell us the type of setup(e.g. ADA style with all the "bells & whistle", mix & match) and the brand of the substrate before we can roughly tell you how its gonna cost you.

Just from the size of your tank prepare min $200 for semi-budget setup for 3inches depth(unless you want to try soil setup ).

You mean Amazonian?

Amazon swords (Echinodorus bleheri) are cheap and easy to maintain. Heavy root feeders so you need fertilizer tabs.
