Selling a fish tank full setup and fish
Apart from ebay any easier ways to sell on a fish tank with full setup including existing fish and water etc?
Got a Trigon 190 corner tank in perfect condition, 4 adult (large) clown loaches, 1 sailfin plec, 1 broken line panaque, 3 rams, 2 tiger barbs, 2 ruby barbs, 2 lemon tetras plus ornaments etc.
Just not got the time to look after and appreciate it as I once did so would be better off with someone who does have the time.
Seen the tank and cabinet go for £250+ on ebay but guess i'd be happy with that all in.

Find somebody to take the fish off you first (probably worth a few quid) or the fish will probably die.
Not many people will know how to move them & keep the filters in good conditions while transporting.

Bravo, give this site a whirl. Tanks & Equipment : Aquarist Classifieds Tanks & Equipment
I keep Koi and that category throws up a few interesting bits fairly regularly that I know get bought.

I recently sold a Juwel 260 but gave the few fish I had to a pal who had a home for them. I think you are pushing your luck trying to sell complete. A big factor was that the tank needed a really good clean out and I ended up with a good as new tank with all the bits including gravel bagged up.
I advertised locally with a nice picture and it sold fairly quickly with buyer collecting. I couldn't face e-bay especially as it was collect or local delivery deal.
Prices are pretty poor for a seller and I sold for £160 when it cost about £500 new. E-bay prices were slightly higher.
