jestep Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I want your tank if you part out! Pictures would help a lot. Generally, you can get more if you part everything out separately. However, it's obviously a huge pain compared to selling the whole thing all at once. The hard part is finding someone who wants your exact setup, right now, and has the money on hand to pay for it. I would look at the complete system section to see what you can get for the whole setup. Otherwise if you checkout the hardware and livestock sections you should be able to get a good idea on what you can get for the rock and coral separately. The chiller, the 800w light, and sump shouldn't be much of a problem to sell. The fish and coral all look like species that would go quickly, or very quickly.

pbnj Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 For ballpark estimate purposes, I'd say.... $0.75-$1.00 per gallon for a used tank. 50%-60% of retail price for used equipment. $2.00-$3.00 per pound for live rock. 50%-75% of retail price for corals. 75%-100% of retail price for fish (fish usually go for a premium because an established tank fish is worth just as much, if not more, than a retail-bought fish; proves they're hardy).

Wildman926 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I hope you stay in. I am in the middle of setting up a 110 tall myself. Really nice display without taking up a lot of real estate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
