I know that lots of people (myself included) who keep saltwater tanks also have kept or are keeping freshwater planted aquariums as well.
So my wife and I are going back to saltwater sometime in the near future and I am trying to determine what would be a fair price to sell my existing FW planted tank setup for. Let me describe this and let me know if you think I am charging too much OR short changing myself
Its a 90 gallon system
setup beggining of 2012
we are keeping the stand and the canopy (built myself) to use with the new saltwater tank, but selling the lights.
90 gallon aquarium
painted background
4 * 32 watt normal flourescent light system (2 shoplights)
2 6500 k bulbs
2 plant gro bulbs
Filstar XP 2 canister filter
AquaTek CO2 regulator with Soleniod
ceramic difuser
5 lb Co2 tank
Cherry shrimp breeding very nicely
a dozen Hq Rasboras
a dozen Glo Light tetras
3 danios
1 pearl gourami
1 huge rainbow shark
2 siamese algea eaters
variety of Ottos
Malaysian Trumpet snails
dozen Nerite snails
5 green corys
huge amounts of Java fern
Anubias
Amazon sword
Wendtii crypts
2 very large (10-15 lb) pieces of manzinita
other large to medium pieces of driftwood
Enriched soil substrate with sand cap, been growing plants very nicely.
We are thinking of asking $500 for the whole shebang
take into account that all the hardware is brand new
the only thing that is not is the Co2 cylinder, but it gets replaced for $20 through a local homebrewing store.
