From the lack of responses, it appears I'm asking too much. Any suggestions what this should go for? Would I be better off to sell everything separately?
Here's what I paid:
$100 • 55 gallon tank on oak stand (with 2 doors)
$75 • oak canopy with lift-up top
$225 • 48" JBJ Formosa 260 watt Retrofit Power Compact lights
$68 • 3 PowerSweep 228 Powerheads and Ebo 200 watt heater
$60+ • 3+" live sand bed
$280+ • about 70 lbs of live rock, with green algae outbreak
$30 • 6' AND 30' Gravel vac/siphon cleaner
Plus all the various tools, the half used and un-used chemicals and food, appx $150 of fish and inverts, and around $75 in corals.
Also, I have a 100 gallon acrylic tank that I want to sell but have no idea what to sell it for. It has a blue back, measures 16" x 18" x 72". and has 2 large rectangular and 2 circular cutouts on the top.
Thanks everyone!

Hello there Aliciak. If you haven't tried already, you might get a better response advertising this on one of the Michigan local boards, like michiganreefers.com. Good luck!

Hey!
If you are willing to piece things out separately, I would be interested in the lights! However, could you let me know how old the bulbs are and about what price you are asking (just fyi, I'm a broke med student so unfortunately I would not be able to match what you paid for it). Also, i live in Chicago so I could pick up.
Thanks!

Sorry I don't have just 1 photo of the whole tank. I took too high res of photos on the camera and then put the tank back in the garage. SWF can only accept 500x500 res photos, which wouldn't be a problem if I had photoshop on this computer, but I don't and I'm only working with iPhoto which will only let me crop the heck out of the image to reduce res rather than just reducing res. Aargh.

I just wanted to clarify that the "100 acrylic" is actually 125 gallon. It is a Clarity Plus 72" x 18" x 20". As you can see from the photo, there are lots of holes drilled into the top. There are also two very small holes drilled into the center (maybe the size of a pencil eraser). I'm asking $350. Just found out that we're moving to Phoenix at the beginning of August, so we need to get these tanks outta here. Thanks!

but not this washed out looking either. If you are wondering what the pink thing is between the tank and stand it's foam insulation (it helped with our slightly uneven floor).
