Hey,it wore me out just getting the thing out of the van and into my basement....my 180 on the other hand was up and running within hours of me getting it home.
How long did it take to setup your tank?

Haha..eh no but circumstances changed once I got the tank.I was no longer in a position of needing to split up and move certain fish for their own good.
Moved a full 125 set up including hundreds of pounds of gravel and water, around 15 large fish and hundreds of plants, and all equipment which required tearing the whole thing down, completely emptying the tank and washing it out, and making multiple trips back and forth from my house and the sellers. Had everything set up at my house just as it had been at the sellers fish/plants and all by 11 Pm that night.
For my 135 it took me 2 weeks to silicone all the sides, let it dry, level it, test fill and once it was ready to go, I had it running in a few hours. Transferred everything from my old 100 over.
Setup of my tank took one day. Took 3 weeks to cycle where I liked it on my 200 gallon. Added fish slowly so nitrogen cycle doesn't crash
My most recent tank took me about a month to set up. But I built the stand, built the 125g sump, resealed the tank. And planned and put together all the plumbing.
