Personally I wouldn't buy a house with a built in tank, and I'm in the hobby. So out of the very small percentage of buyers that have reef tank interest subtract that yet again for people like me. There are too many hidden problems that large tanks can cause and the way the housing market typically is a sale is easily lost to another seller for relatively small reasons. With my house I made sure that the tank and equipment can be removed and made to appear as if nothing was ever there without major reno. Having a house on the market also sucks, anything that could prolong that would be worth avoiding. If it isn't already obvious my point is I would recommend removing all traces of the aquarium before the house even gets listed.
