I will consider selling off things seperately if no one wants to buy the whole setup which wouldn't be any good since a lot of this stuff was made to fit with each other. Please also note that I'm not even considering shipping, taxes, or time in the prices. Here's the list of stuff I'm selling and the prices I BOUGHT THEM FOR to prove that I'm not trying to make a profit. I've sold a few things online and when people did come by to pick up the goods, they were impressed of how well kept all my equipment was.

Couple the chiller with a temperature controller, and you can keep extremely stable temperatures (mine generally don't fluctuate more than. More stable tank temperatures reduce stress on fish and to a greater extent corals. You're right, chillers are definitely expensive, and I wouldn't rush into getting one, but here are the big benefits as I see them:
