Unfortunately the time has come and my job is having me move across the country. Apart of that moving process is the unfortunate decision to sell my current system here in Chicago.

Before I put the whole post together, I have a question if you could help. Would the system be better to sell as “all in one” where someone can buy a fully established, stable, and stocked reef for one price. Or break it all down and sell little by little?

It’s a 35.2 All in One Waterbox that is honestly such a good tank. I have the TikTok page to prove it’s clean lol

Posting here just in case the other thread is dead

why don’t you just pack it up nicely and take the tank with you? You know you’re going to get the bug again sooner or later! If you sell everything you will never get what you paid for it. Unless you move around a lot.

I think you'll have better luck selling the live stock separate then the dry setup as a whole. That's what's worked for me, you'll have more interest.

Fair! One the market (New York) and my ability might come in the way. But it’s also a way to get some cash for this current system to then maybe even upgrade once I get there.
