How much is my tank worth?

Anyone know how much I should list my Aqua One 620T tank and stand for?

its 5-6 years old, more than half of that time it has spent in storage. A little bit of water damage to stand but still looks tidy and isnt anywhere near enough to effect it structurally..

Tank is still in good order, just the odd tiny scratch over the years from stones, cant see when tank has water in it. The filter has been changed, I chopped a piece out so I could put a 1000lph Jebo HOB filter on the back.. I also chopped a little piece out so I could fit an Aqua One cf1200 cannister filter onto it aswell.

Think I might sell the Jebo HOB filter with it. These modifications havnt changed it aesthetically, The filter lid is still in one piece etc.

How much is a reasonable amount to ask for it? Thinking about keeping the cannister filter for a new tank, a longer one so I can keep a couple of Neolamprologus Pulcher (daffodil?).. Or should I sell the cannister with it and keep the HOB?

I can only find brand new ones for $450, nothing second hand to compare it to.

I can't say for sure but I'd put it on trademe with a start price of $100 and see what I got. There have been a few horror stories about these tanks so make sure it's water tight after being in storage for a while.

Yeah, that's what I'd suggest. I wouldn't say it's worth more than a couple hundred or so.

:) Cool thats what I was thinking. Thrown in a Jebo 508 980lph waterfall filter in with it. Just popped it on trademe so we will see what happens. Really want to set up a little colony of daffodil pulchers. I used to have a 4ft with electric yellows in which was neat, 1m and 3f to begin with but ended up with quite a few more after they started breeding. I didnt think I could get away with keeping the pulchers in the 620t with it having a small footprint so out it goes and hoping to get something around 90cm long for a pair or maybe 1m 2fm.
