How tiny are those tiny Adult Swim budgets?

From what I've gathered, an animated show usually demands a budget of around $200k USD per episode. And everyone who mentions this tends to bring up the infamous low budgets of Adult Swim shows. 

I'm looking for any hard data on this- what were those budgets?

I'd love to see anything I can get get my hands on, but I am specifically curious about the budgets for Sealab 2021 season one and Aqua Teen Hunger Force season one (I am assuming these were among the cheapest). 

When it comes to cable animation- where is the floor, budget wise?

And has that been trending up, or down, in the years since these shows premiered?
