OH and he is giving me 2-300watt heaters!!!
thats not gonna cut it for heating power you need 3-5 watts per gallon you need 1200-2000 watts plus your lighting and your filter system should be flipping the water 5 times min but preferably 7 time per hour so you need 2000-2800 gph and dont forget to include the height of the head how far from the bottom to top so if its stands at like 7ft you need a pump such as the quiet one 14000 at 7ft high its only pushing 1700gph so you need something more like the quiet one 16000 made for ponds its going to be pushing at 7ft about 3000gph and that beast uses 280watts!! big tank big money and dont forget your sump should be 1/3 of your tank 133 gallon sump...

good luck

with all the money you save for that tank its soo worth it!! its a steal at that price

About 2 tons. I figured about 3800LBS or 4000lbs range. The guy used to keep silver Aro's in there.

Get a half dozen strong men. My brother and i moved a 180gal from a walk out basement up an incline to my truck. Then from my truck across my yard and down a hatchway. I'd never do it again! good luck:jaw-dropp

3800 lbs divided by 6 guys is over 630lbs per guy. I don't think so LOL
