I have 2 aquariums for sale that I want to get rid off. They are both in mint condition. Im getting rid of them as they are in my basements furnance room that I converted to a fish room. They are never seen except by myself and I have no need for them anymore. They are both up and running with fish, gravel etc. They come with everything including water.
The first one I have is a 125 gallon tank. The filtration system can be used for fresh or salt water. I have used it for both. Currently I have the Skimmer dis connected as fresh water doesnt need it. It will come with the skimmer setup.

What you will get...
125 gallon tank with oak trim
Pine stand
Brand new glass tops
Substrate
Red flint gravel

Fish
2 Large Bala Sharks. 1 is about 5 inches and the other is abot 8.
1 Iridescent Shark. 8 inches
2 Blue Gouramis. 5 inches.
2 cory cats.

Lighting
1 Shop light with 2 bulbs. (new)

Filtration
22 Gallon Wetdry Filter 30X10X23 With Bubble traps. Also has a recirculation Spa Hose to return water to other side of sump so no water is stagnant.
Top Fathom Skimmer TF100A
700 Mag Drive Pump
QuietOne 5000 Return pump
Heater
1 Inch Union Clear Check Valve (new)
2 3/4 Spa Flex tubing, one for each side return. Comes with 1 Inch LocLine Returns.
1/2 Threaded Ball valve.This was hooked up to a skimmer for a Reef tank. It can be used for any other equipment that can be submersed or externally mounted.
BioBalls
Bio Ball rack
Acrylic Drip Tray
Dual 1200 GPH CPR Overflow box
2 1 Inch drains with drain lines and PVC ends
Anti Siphon Pump with airline
Huge piece of driftwood
Plants
The filtration alone cost me $2,133.44 The tank and stand $600 new. I have reciepts to prove it.
I am willing to let everything go for $1000. Ready to run including water. The filtration is all hooked up, the only thing you would have to do is connect the drain lines and return line which screws on once sump is under the stand.
I am willing to help remove and set back up for you and show you how things work so you wont have any issues.

Second tank.

This one is alot smaller but works well for kids and is very easy to care for.
12 gallon Eclipse system 12.
What it comes with.

Stand
This is also running and comes with everything including water. I will also help remove and setup for you.

Or tell me what you think each setup is worth.

I just sold my 125g complete set and 3 juvie dats and 7 juvie peacock bass for $200 in Chicago.:WHOA:

300 acrylic complete set ups are going for less than $1000.

You may get more interest if you lower you price.
 
I listed it with what I paid for my filtration, and the tank,stand for $600. I think im being fair for a starting price of $1000. Im not going to lose over $1,500 on this when its basically still new. The tank and equipment is less than a year old.
 
Im going to have to agree with the other guy im not sure about were you live but here in california 125 complete setups like yours goes for about $300.00 to $400.00 , i bought a 240 acrylic complete setup and a 100 gallon complete setup and it cost me $700.00 for both tanks, were not trying to derail you just trying to help your sale
 
I don't mean to kick you when your down either, but I just bought a 135gal complete with drilled overflows, a bio-wheel sump, Mag18 return pump, Fluval 403, stand and gravel for $350 Can. All I had to add was a lid and a light. What it's worth to you, and what it's worth to anybody else, is usually not the same. Check Craigslist and see what they're going for. I know it sucks, but we all play the same game.
 
To be honest we all see how much you spent on your system but the potential buyer see's how much your paid but does not really care. We only care about what the going rate is for a tank such as yours. I would lower the price 60% at least.... if you really want to sell it.

If you can not justify dropping it that much we understand since you put alot of $ on your set up. You should keep it.
 
Yeah I live in the chicago area and I picked up a 220 gallon reef ready with 300 model wet dry, pump, plumbing, 6' power compact light, wood stand, and glass tops for $600. My 135 complete setup cost me $350. Sorry but you'll never get near $1000 on here or any internet site.
