Equipment make/model/size: Juwel Rio 180 BEECH Tank && various other stuff

A little information:
I am selling my Juwel Rio 180 tank, and I'm quite flexible about including/not including accessories, and selling them seperately.
This is the T5 version, however the light unit is broken. I have read that these can be fixed for the price of a new £25-30 T5 ballast, but I don't have the money or time to do this myself. Instead I have been using 2 Hagen Glo units, running 4 tubes.

The tank has had the original filter removed, but I can include external filters, see the list below.

The tank originally had 3 separators siliconed in - these have now been removed but has left slight scratches on the front of the tank. There are 2 main vertical scratches which are about 1" in length and are near the top right corner of the tank. (I will of course get pictures of these if there is interest)

I am just hoping to cut my losses and downgrade before I lose too much money on everything I've spent. With university I just don't have time to maintain such a big tank, and I've officially given up with my attempt at a planted tank. I'm going to use the money from this tank to pay for my 2 new Arcadia 35L tanks.

I am happy to sell things separately, delivered, collected, whatever! I'm also happy to sell the tank with whatever accessories you want.

1x Tetratec EX700 Filter (all accessories and media, perfect working order) - £30
2x Tetratec EX700 Filter (the second one is missing an intake pipe and a few suction cups, but I may be getting a replacement sent over the next few days, includes all media though) - £50
1x Hagen Glo T5 HO (2x 39W) w/ 2 tubes - £25
2x Hagen Glo T5 HO (2x 39W) w/ 4 tubes - £45
1x 300W Interpet Heater - £10

3x 7kg bags worth of Seachem Flourite Black - £40 (cost £60, only 6 months old, and hardly any plant growth so plenty of nutrients left :( - Also means you can use it straight away without worrying about clouding though!)

good evening would it be possible that you can send some pics of you tank please cheers Ian
 
Yes Ian, that will be no problem - give me 5 minutes.

I guess I should have mentioned that its Beech! Completely crossed my mind - I've edited my original post now.

Edit: Notice the in the pictures, the top right of the tank. Those are the 2 scratches. Nothing major, but they are noticeable.
These are old pictures, before I planted it, and before the algae infestation. But rest assured it will receive a deep clean before I sell it!
And the picture is before the light unit stopped working. And the back is painted with matt black car paint, a very very clean finish and looks excellent - It is easy enough to scrape off though. (So many things to mention lol)

cheers for the pics , do you have a rough price in mind ???
 
I really don't have a clue. I don't want to give you a price that is way too high, and put you off. I paid over £100 for it, but I know that without a light I'll be lucky to get £50.
Are you just interested in just the tank? No lighting, filters etc?
