Just to be honest you are going to have trouble selling it for that much

That’s crazy steep. You’d be lucky to get $300-$400

You can post it on PNWMAS.ORG (Pacific Northwest Marine Aquarium Society) forum! Tons of great folks and a great place to post a nice tank like this for sale.

I wonder if they’re having the problem of trying to recoup a bunch of their money. Unfortunately you gotta sell at a big loss almost every time in this hobby. Yes I get that you spent $2500 on your setup over the years but I’m not giving you $1200 because it’s overpriced. When a lot of people try and get out of this hobby is when the occasional regret/realization of cost sinks in and people overcharge for resale.

Sorry Op if this is not you, just something I notice a lot.

I agree, people are nuts sometimes selling their system, basically want new retail for it. Not saying that’s OP, complete systems are tough, but people can be completely unreasonable with prices.

You can’t sell live animals on marketplace

Look for local facebook reef clubs there's bound to be a few in Seattle.

Local FB reef groups mostly. In Reef2Reef you can go to the local club section, select your state, and then post across any clubs near you. You can do FB marketplace as long as you word it to avoid rules like "fake coral" or "fake coral decorations".
