Anyone know the weight of a 125g tank when empty? The only website I found with empty weights lists it as 206 lbs. That site also lists 38g tanks at 47 lbs and I had no trouble with that one, aside from the bulkiness. This has led me to believe that the site is wrong with their empty weights. If anyone knows for sure the 125g, I'd really appreciate it. I will [hopefully] be picking up a 125g tomorrow and I need to know if I'll be able to load it.
Fish tank weight?

Yes indeed, it is glass. I'll be going with my pops, but he is kinda old. The guy that picked up the phone when I called to set up a time sounded old too. Hopefully me on one end and the two others on the opposite end will be able to shimmy it into a minivan. The stand might be another story...
Unless all you have to do is to put one side up on a truck bed (or whatever) then push it up in you need two people.
I have done a 55g oceanic (thick glass!) solo before but its just too unwieldy for anything bigger.

ah yes, the things we will do due to impatience, although a 150 is a little much for me.
Though I think offensive lineman would be better descriptive

I'm pretty sure it's going to be glass. I'll be getting it at a bargain price ($150 for the set up) because it leaks. Hopefully it's glass that just needs new silicon.
