What aquariums are worth
What lifts the price
- Tanks with no chips, cracks or failing seals
- Larger volumes, which are disproportionately expensive new
What pulls it down
- Silicone seals that have lifted or perished
- Chips at the corners, which risk failure under pressure
Working out what yours is worth
- Fill it outdoors and leave it standing to check for leaks
- Run a fingernail along every seam for lifted silicone
Getting it ready
- List every piece of equipment: filter and model, heater wattage, lighting unit, air pump, substrate, decor and cabinet.
- Test the filter and heater are working before you list, and note the age of each.

Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
