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

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