Parting out a tank

[karl]

I found a tank I like but cant afford it so im thinking about selling all the fish and corals and starting it over slow. How much do you think I could get for them on this add

I bought an established tank (very little livestock) and a 20 gal with stand and I browse Craigslist regularly. I think your best bet would be to just break it down and part out. Many members here have huge tanks that would appreciate a show piece and you have newbies that want to spend on whatever they like. One person might like one item in your tank and utterly dislike something else. As we all know things take a while to grow in some tanks and in others they grow like weeds. If your tank were smaller it'd be easier to sell the whole set up. But seriously, who can spend that amount of money on a tank that is already established with what someone else likes? The market for your tank would be someone wanting to upgrade, which means they want an empty tank. This is just my humble opinion based on my observations.
BTW, if you want to sell something here you must be a paying member. Since you'll be wanting to sell and you'll get another tank, the membership is a good investment.

Edit: Oh I forgot to tell you that as soon as the mods get to read your post it will probably be deleted because you have a link to a selling page and you're not allowed to sell and if they were to allow this it should probably be in The Lounge.

Actually there are two rules infractions with this post-

-a non-member trying to sell
(buying is ok, but selling is a members only priveledge)

-linking to another forum/for sale post is not allowed
(we don't want to become, nor support, Craig's list)

We would love it if you registered and became a member. :up:

Thanks for your understanding
