150gallon weight

[ecuaaron]

I just bought a new 150 gallon tank and need to move it, how much does the empty tank weigh??

 

[mrk]

I just bought one too, It took 8 guys a case of beer and a couple stack of ribs, but it was all worth it. haha

that doesn't sound too promising, i guess 2 of us and a hand truck will have to work

 

[swede]

the hand truck probably wont help much

i have a 150 and i live on the 3rd floor .. and me and a friend set it up just the 2 of us .. with only a little sore back after words .. i would say that 2 people that are bigger and in good shape can do it .. but 3 or 4 people would make things really easy .. !!

2 guys can do it, that other guy that said 8 guys must be around 8-9 years old

 

[fcamargo6thave]

i would say it must weigh about 250lbs

acrylic or glass? If acrylic one guy can do it, and if glass two guys.

Is it glass? According to marineland and depending on dimensions their 150g tank weighs 219# or 238#

Standard Aquarium Specs

if its an aqueon tank which means its the 6 foot version, the glass is slightly thicker than the marineland version and the tank is slightly taller.

their 150 gallon weighs 281 pounds, around 50 pounds more than the marineland version. pretty tough for two people to carry very far.

I had 4 people move mine.
