My neighbor, who's 6'7" and easily over 250lb, and I moved my 180 glass.

Here's where the imagery gets kinda comical: I'm 5'6" and well under 150lb
 
Are we talking moving a distance, maneuvering through doorways and rooms, then up onto a stand etc? I'd like to see just two average people do that on a ~180g glass tank without exploding a testicle. A simple 4ft 75g tank needs two people.

Nah. I moved my 75 glass out of my pick up , across the backyard, up a full flight of stairs onto the deck and through the kitchen...............solo and non-stop.

Me and my mate moved my old 180 g glass tank out the house across the garden to my car and then reversed it with my new 180 g, easy enough

You're more of a man than I.

The empty weight of my Aqueon 75g is 98lbs. I can lift that no problem, but there's no way I could have gotten it into my house and onto my metal stand by myself (Titan Eze stand). Why would you even try?!?

FWIW, the Aqueon 180g is 282lbs dry.
