Hello from an original member

[Walrus]

I joined AC shortly after the site was created back in the late 90's (my memory is fuzzy on the exact year but i want to say 97). I was a daily visitor until 2003 when I left the hobby. My profile now says my join date was 2002 but if memory serves there was a site/database crash that forced us all to re-register on the site.

While cleaning out my basement today I decided I want to sell my 55 gallon reef ready tank and stand. Since i've been out of the hobby for so long, i'm not sure what a fair price to ask is. If anyone can help out and give me a ballpark figure on what a fair price for a 4 year old reef ready all-glass tank is worth, i'd be grateful.

Just to say welcome back and Im not really that sure im more into FW.....You gonna come back into the hobby?

 

[Walrus]

I'd like to some day but right now i dont have the time for it. I used to keep freshwater and saltwater tanks.

Oh thats cool!

Wow Walrus, I remember you from back in the day...

about the tank... when you say reef-ready, do you mean it is pre-drilled?

hey dangerdoll, glad to see you're still around. correct on the tank, it is pre-drilled. the tank was made by all-glass aquariums and from the quick googling i did, it doesn't appear they are in business anymore. the tank has one overflow located slightly off center in the back of the tank. the stand is also the standard pine stand that AGA sold at the time. the tank and stand look brand new and i filled the tank tonight to verify it didn't leak (6 hours in and it's leak free). i'm thinking i might put it on craigslist for $200 (tank & stand)............thoughts?

Nice to see you around.....not a saltie here, but that does sound a bit high for just a tank and stand, even if pre-drilled and overflow. Depending on the area, I don't see how you could get more than $100 for it.
