going price

[peregrinus]

what does everyone think is a good going price for a stocked 55 gal tank?

[Grandmaster_Toad]

What is in it will cetainly depict what its worth imo. If its a fish only tank of is it has corals, LR....etc. Can you elaborate on "stocked"...are we talking stand lights, overflow, drilled??

ok here is goes.. it has a 1400 gph pump lights are 2 110 watt VHO's and 2 175 MV. it would need a sump/refug but i have tons or sand and macros that would go with it. and a stand no canopy.

Just a Guess probable around 6 to 7 hundred but its hard to sale a setup like that as one piece ever one wonts one setup different Ive seen several up for sale and very few get sold before braking them up.

i have a friend thats intrested in the whole setup and i had no idea what to charge.

That'd be a tough one, as as a whole pricing would be very subjective to what the buyer is willing to pay. Might try considering what the going rate would be from the perpspective of components... ie how much LR, a good count of the livestock that'd be included, then add in hardware/equipment. I think it'd go for a bit more than that. We've got at least double that (probably close to triple counting PC lighting and skimmer) amount into just our 55. 6-700 may sell it, but i think you'd be selling yourself short.

He's selling his TOTM... what the??? Why??? Figurew about 3-4 dollars per gallon.

[peregrinus]

not yet. this it my main tank.. tring to save money for a new house and a great big tank :D

[dakar]

Almost afraid to ask, but how big IS a great big tank? Gotta know how much bigger I need to go to attain that goal. Although I'd either need a bigger house, or permission from Angel to seal the basement up real good and flood it with SW, now that would be cool to have your own reef that you can swim in anytime you want.
