selling complete operating tank; any ideas on prices to ask?

Worth a couple hundred bucks IMO. The equipment isn't ideal for salt so anyone with experience will see little value in what you have.

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

I agree with everone above. Also you LR has aptasia on it so the person that buys it will either have to have aptasia already or need to cook that rock. I would say that system is not worth much more than $500. You can buy a new 90g in Calgary for $150.

I wouldn't call it stupid, but I can testify that I have many more grey hairs because of it.

I often joke with my wife that a crack habit is probably cheaper... but this is much more pretty.
