The only bad thing about the 500, being glass you know how many guys that would take to move LOL. My old 7ft x 30" 265g took four of us and it was all we could do to get it down the stairs, it was 450lbs empty. I bet ya that 500g is 750lb or more.
He said its over 800lbs dry lol

Hello Move Daddy? Yeah I need a quote for 8 movers.

Used tanks make me nervous. Probably because most of the ones i ever attempted to buy we ticking time bombs. 500 gal man you better inspect every inch of that tank (300 too). It looks like it hasn't been used for some time. The other one atleast looks like it hasnt been out of commission since the 80s

They're sending me pics of the seams. Does acrylic have the same issues if not used for awhile?

Ahhh..I was thinking are they really that stupid?
Geez it honestly looked real i thought the same. Thank god it was a commercial
I found the rest of the commercial haha

Lol, I do!!! Too cute!!! :hearts: My dad has a clock that features 12 different songbirds. Every hour a different bird sings. You ought to get one and place it near her. In no time you'll have 12 birds in one!!! :lol2:

(Lol at everyone thinking, omg that'd drive me crazy! People buy those things!
Uhhhhh...it's already bad enough that I got her that stupid bird toy she likes to mimic 38764596 times a day. Did I ever show you that video? And where did your dad get that bird clock anyway?

Oh yeah..she's learned to whistle the theme song from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly cause she hears hubby all the time. And now she's learning Mozart's Serenade no. 13 in G major LOL...did you know Mozart also had a starling? :redface:

No, acrylic is fine sitting for a long time, nothing to dry up or crack like silicone. That's actually why I went with acrylic for my 240, my 265 was a pain and leaked after I set that glass monster up so I made a promise to myself that any tank I get that is over 125g will only be acrylic. Just have him send you pics of all sides and corners and look for any crazing in the panels and corners. Long as you don't see that then you should be good. Ask him how thick the panels are as well, you will get some bow in a tall acrylic if the panels are not 3/4" or better. It's not a deal breaker by any means, my 30" tall 240 is 1/2" and bows about 1" without any issues, but thicker is always better though.
