Brand new to this forum and unfortunately need to sell my tank. I have over $7,500.00 into it and would like to hear what it may be worth. I would like $2,500.00 for the whole set up. The tank was setup for a year and a half or so and wife won't allow in our new home. The tank can be seen in Bulverde, Texas.

Custom 280 tall reef ready tank (72x30x30) with canopy and stand which are covered in a beautiful honey oak stain and finish tank was factory drilled. It has over flow on one end and returns on the other. Stand and canopy are covered all around. Tank is in fine condition and is currently crated up from our recent move. Canopy has fans installed on each end. Sale will include a dual tower wet dry filter manufactured by Life Reef systems. A Life Reef skimmer rated for tank. VHO lighting with an Icecap 660 ballast. a new in box Kent RO system. 2 little giant pumps a model 4 MDQX SC and a model 2 MDQX SC. Heaters. Airator.

You had this ad under craigslist for $1500 and then you changed it to $2000 and now you wanted $2500 . So is this a firm price now?

had no price trying to figure out what it is worth. The moderator stated that I needed to post a price and I have been told I am selling too cheap. Trying to sell it but want a fair price. If it's worth $2500, I would like to get that. If not I would like to hear thoughts on its value. One of the people who I spoke with suggested that this forum was a good place to find knowledgeable people. I am a total novice and purchased what I was told was the best equipment for low maintenance, etc. It was professionally set up, taken down and maintained. Again, not trying to pull a fast one. Just trying to establish a value and see if there is any interested people. It has been sitting in my garage and my wife wants the space freed up.

Maybe you should post pix of the tank. The pix were of the equip and stuff but not of the tank. It would probably help the sale.

I have been answering PM's thinking this post was old but wanted to tell everyone that the aquarium is sold. In answer to other PM's, it sold for $1,750.00.
