Typical Weight of 180 Gallon Acrylic?

Mfg. stress the levelness of the tanks. Tencor does not offer lifetime warranties anymore unless you buy one of there $3000 dollar stands. The builder of mine warranties the tank for life if properly supported and level. He recommended concrete. Acrylic tanks fail at the seems because of the stress due to uneven surfaces.

Got it. So how would I go about installing this one on a carpeted floor? It's a 180gal. I'm ging to be building the stand myself. I built the last one for my 180 glass.

HERE is the tank.

basically with carpet you can level it best you can dry but it will change a little when full of water as the carpet settles.
When i did mine (although glass) we leveled it filled it, checked it then when i did a water change a week later checked it again and lifted it when the water level was low to get a shim under.

Yeah, but how big was the tank? If large, what did you use to lift it?
