Overall, not a well respected skimmer. I myself found it to work ok, but can say there is better.

from the pics, it looks like what you have is more of a fowler (fish only with live rock) than a reef.
Anyone who was buying this system with the intent of keeping coral would have to at least upgrade the lighting. you should have a browse around this site...plenty of reference for you to draw on as far as comparable systems sold in the past.

see heres the thing, a used tank alone is worth about 1 to 2 bucks per gal, so 90 to 180 for the tank, and after that you realy don't have anything that is reef. just a fresh water tank used for salt. ( because it is not drilled a used 90 standard is worth maybe 120 max)
metal stand. hmm thoes ones might add 50.00 to the value. Dropp in heraters can be got for 10 bucks used... realy depends on what type they are to put a price on them, but you are probably looking at 20 bucks max each if they are titanium heaters. lights lid ect.. none of that would be used by some one with a reef so if you were including it add say 40 bucks you have a skimmer (lower priced one) and to be honest not even a good one. so it looks like the one I have out in my garage I never used but paid 25 bucks for. your filspar is expensive 200.00 ish newmaybe a bit more, but not usefull for a reef tank so if I was buying your stuff I would tell you to drop that out of the package and sell it seperatly so you could get something for it. so you have 80 lbs of sand at around 60 bucks new. one new one used so say 20 buck value live rock if it is nice you could get 4ish/lb so 200 bucks. so at a quaick glance I am looking around 500.00 plus what ever you can get for your filspar by selling it to a fresh water guy. you have to realize when you sell a tank you never get out of it anywhere near what you put into it. I had a 90 gal custom tank that cost 500 to buy sold for 200. the rest of my stuff I spent about 7K on my tank and maybe got 2200 for everything when it was all said and done. Steve

I had a 90g with a 45g breeder as a sump. A 50g plastic drum for RO/DI water. Custom stand, a mid stream skimmer, Aqua Jr Controller, Auto Top off, and a 4 ft 8 bulb tek T5 light. With live rock and what not I spent close to 5500 bucks. Sold it all for a little over 1600. Great hobby to get into on used stuff, but no resale on things bought new (for the most part). Im guessing you would be lucky to get out of that with 750 in your pocket.

It is more expensive to get out of the hobby than it is to get into the hobby
