This may sound stupid but I'm always intrigued as to how people get such big & wide tanks to fit through their doors to place in a room? We've the room for such large tanks but they'd never fit through the doorways. Hows it done?
 
slideing patio doors pop out very easy, but i like to replace my slideing doors for french doors that way there is no removeing anything just open both up :headbang2
 
In my last house, we built the glass 1100 gallon in place. It took 10 guys to bring the glass panels into the daylight basement and I had to take a utility room wall out cuz the 15ft panels couldn't negotiate a corner.
I got my 650 into my current place by taking the door and door frame out first. It was still a bit of a squeeze (brick walls couldn't come out) but, we made it and the door assembly went back in easily.
