Does anyone know the weight of an empty tank...

The Marineland one weighs 237 lbs I believe. Big Als sells them. Or was that the Allglass 125? errr.....Oh and that's a 72"x22"18".

According to All Glass their site says the weight of a 125gallon is 177lbs.
And the 125gal from marineland is 160lbs according to the email I got from the customer service rep.

The 4x2x2 125 is lighter than the "long" 125...I'm gonna have to check this at work on Sat lol.

I was under the impression that the higher tanks were HEAVIER than the long ones because they use thicker glass.
On AGA's site. the 110Xhigh is listed as being heavier than the 125 long. and the 120high (4ft tank) is also a bit heavier than the 125long (6ft tank)

yes, its interesting to note that the weight of the 150 standard (72x18x28) is only one pound different than the 180.

probably due to the extra height of the 150.

280 pounds is a heavy empty tank!

How big is this guy? I just picked up another Perfecto 75gal on boxing day and there is no way I could carry that by myself. Just the weight if in a smaller physical size, OK, but a 4 foot long tank?

Weakling.

Even if you could lift 150-200 pounds easily, the tank is 4 feet long and 18 inches wide. I don't see how one person could hold it.

I know my 125 gallon is pretty heavy. But I dont think it is around the 170 mark though. (72x18x22)

I have done it several times and i am the only one at my store that can lift one alone. Granted its not fun or easy but its doable. Probably helps that i am 6'3'' and have a similar reach.
