Might want to check out a local glass shop. The main cost with tanks this size is shipping. You could save a crap load if you buy locally.

Def try that, check local stores. glasscages have been 'iffy' but check the tank over WELL before you take it. I plan on ordering from there when i order a new tank. Glass will be HEAVY 2-3 tons empty and... 8 tons with a full fish/decor tank.

I got a 6x3x2 280 from them years ago. I had it shipped from canada to new orleans LA for better than anything else I could find. I never got to set it up becasue of Katrina...but it was a nice tank. That was a 6-7 years ago so I dont know if prices have changed.

Something that big, I think I would have/or try to built on site. Lower the chance of busting the tank moving it.

do I see a freudian slip?

haha "whore stories", Yeah Egon has the right idea. Building on site, in it's final location would be essential.

They shiped my 280 in a wooden crate via truck...back then for 500 bucks. Few friends and some suction glass cups shouldnt be a issue. Unless its upstairs or it cant fit through a door/window.

An empty tank that weighs 2000 lbs + would not fair well on the second floor. Also, unless you buddies are power lifting champions you might be out of luck there as well.

I believe this is what's known as extreme exaggeration. Are you suggesting the tank would weigh 4,000-6,000lbs empty and 16,000lbs full?

I would just buy acrylic, and it wouldn't be from Tenecor either.

I just purchased a tank from Midwest Custom Aquariums. It's extremely high quality so they have my vote.
