That's a really nice tank, a 12 footer. Did you know it weighs 1400 lbs. empty? Geez! Hope you have access to a forklift. LOL! Tom and crew over at glasscages build great tanks for the money. The only place I buy new tanks these days.

I have never heard anything bad about them. If I had a choice and money didn't matter I would buy an AGA.

hope it is going in the basement cuz your floor will prob fall through

On a tank that large of a foot print It shouldn't put too many more pounds per square inch on your floor than a refrigerator would. As long as it is level and on a good evenly load dispersing stand most floors should be able to handle it near a load bearing wall.

But I could be wrong (CRASH!!!!!!!)
