I am tossing around the idea of selling my tank. I've been in a bored slump with my tank and I'm not taking as good of care of my fish as I used to so I feel it would be best to sell off and wait a while and get back into the hobby a little while later. I need help determining a price tag for my setup. Here's a list of my stuff and the price I paid..

-85 gallon aquarium - 72"x15"x18" - $140
-pine stand I built to fit - $40 worth of wood
-two Marineland Penguin 350 - $75
-Fluval 300 watt heater - $45
-Aqueon 36" LED fixture w/ blue moon light, white bulb and spots for 2 more bulbs. - $100
-Aqueon red bulb for 36" fixture - $50
-green fish net 4 inches wide
-algae scrub brush

-Tetra algae wafers
-Omega One large cichlid pellets
-cobalt aquatics shrimp pellets
-freeze dried tubifex worm cubes

-full 500 ml bottle of Prime
-some water test strip
-tetra algae control 50 ml
-nutrafin plant gro 250 ml

-3 bags of this Ian moon sand(in tank) - $70
-Malaysia driftwood piece - $20
-some fake plants - $15

-1 tiger Oscar
-1 white tiger Oscar (all Oscars < 5 inches)
-1 red oscar

Thats a tough call. Even though its not a lot of gallons, you have a lot of space with those dimensions. Is this a glass tank or acrylic?
 
It's glass and it's in great conditon. No scratches and whatnot. Oh and the back is painted black with acrylic paint so it's easy to peel off if need be.

I sell a lot on CL. As a seller, I'd be looking for $300. I'd entertain an offer of 1/2 that though.
 
the fish aren't "worth" anything ..ime cl buyers have their own most of the time ,be happy that someone might take your unwanted pets..I would ask $150 For the stated equipment and sell it quick , if your looking to "get your money back ", you may be in for a long wait
