How much do acrylic tanks weigh???

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
No one can tell you how much it will weigh unless we know how thick the acrylic is. At .5" thick, with the dimensions listed it will weigh between 250 to 300lbs. At 1" thick it will weigh between 550 and 600lbs. If the dimensions you listed are 96"Long x 24"Wide x 36"High, then it's hopefully made out of material that's at least 1" thick. But if it's only 24" high and 36" wide, it could possibly be made out of .5" thick acrylic and Fishman's estimate would be correct.

Please post pix of this beast! Good luck with getting it into your place.
 
It could also be 3/4" thick as my 300 gallon 24" high is.
 
My 300 is 96Lx24Wx30T with 3/4" sides/top and 1/2" bottom. It weighed around 300 pounds, so you can bet yours will be in the 300-400 pound range.
