Perfecto currently makes a 265 :)

at my LFS they often sell at less than full price because they get brought in and sit there for a whle..then they go on clearance.

not many people are crazy enough like all of us to want a tank that big :)
Yeah. Not too many people have progressed this far in the addic- hobby yet.
 
are you planning on putting this monster tank on a second floor?

I know that I am not buying a new place without a basement - since even the 150 that I would like to get is a bit too heavy for a second floor spot IMO. unless its poured concrete between levels.

I guess it depends on the construction..

No, just that my house is not on a foundation, but on stilts in the ground. It's kinda hard to explain, but I doubt the whole house could hold 2400 lbs.

its not on a slab atleast?? gravel or just dirt??
 
I said 300 as then if or for any reason you may have some extra leg room in there which i can come in very handy.

It's on dirt, with wooden beams hoising it above the dirt. Underground where the dirt is, we use it for storage of not very expensive stuff.

I'm not gonna have any leg room if my house implodes. 600 lbs is a big difference.
 
yea that is true.
