I saw a used 125 with 130 something pounds of live rock,sump.lights,skimmer,everything go for $800 a couple of weeks ago.
But you mileage may vary out where you are.

i bought an 84g with stand filters and 60lbs of rock for 230.. and i saw a buddy buy a whole 50g setup for 50 bucks but that was super low. the guy had it priced at 150 bucks

perhaps look for similar tanks on ebay and get an idea of what the market is willing to pay. It changes all the time over here.

I would try to sell it for 500 and if you can't then lower the price in 50 dollar incraments. Or you could just price each item individually and part it out. I think a lot of people like customizing there own tank, rather than buying a complete setup. They may want different powerheads, skimmer etc.

I would go on craigslist in your area and see what things are going for.. Even if the things are getting sold individual it will give you an idea..

You usually also end up getting more money if you sell off the pieces individually, rather than a whole setup

Usually you can sell used stuff for 50% of what you paid for it -- including live rock and livestock.

i hear alot of ppl do that of settle for a target range of something you want.
