First, I apologize if there is a section for this, I looked a couple of times and didn’t see one.

I’ve reached the difficult decision to sell my large tank. The pandemic has hit my family pretty hard, I tried to keep things going but I can no longer invest the money, or the time into properly taking care of it, or the inhabitants.

My ask is if anyone could give me an idea of what I should ask for it. Understand there is no right answer, but would appreciate any estimates anyone is willing to provide.

the tank is 180 gallons with a basic apex set up. It has a good amount of live rock,

Inhabitants are;
Stars and Stripes puffer
White tail bristletooth tang
Large emperor angelfish
Picasso triggerfish

Again, any suggestions are greatly appreciated

Where in WI are you? How old is tank? That rock looks white.
 
It depends how quickly you're looking to sell everything. If you sell the Apex, lights, fish, and tank separately for example it will take longer but you will likely recoup more money. That's how I would approach it as it can be hard to find someone interested in your whole setup unless you price it very competitively.

Thanks for the tip. I’m aiming to price it competitively to move it all quickly. Less concerned with getting as much as I can and more looking to get it to a good home. Especially the puffer. He’s the only thing I’ll really really miss. So much personality
