How heavy is a 180 w/o water?

[edub]

Is there a good way to get a general idea of how heavy a tank is? I'm planning a 180 and I'm curious as to how much I'll have to lift (or how many people I'll need to help...).
Thanks!

I just purchased a used 175 glass bowfront. Two guys each weighing about 140 pounds picked it up like it was nothing. THank goodenss my girlfriends nephew and friend were here cutting some tress down. THey picked that tank up like it weighed 50 pounds. I held the door open...tough job but one of us had to do it.
The folks I bought the set-up from deliverd it ...but they had help loading on their end.

You can always buy acryllic...lighter in weight. but scratches easy.

Man i got a super thick 180 it's like 3/4 or 1 in. glass. It weighs an easy 600lbs empty!
4 huge guys,.. 1 being 7'2 the lightest one was 250, struggled and i mean struggled to lift it off the bed of the truck to the stand about 4 ft away!!! I was gonna put that upstairs till we tried to lift it...I was like "in the garage it stays"
Opposed to me and one other guy lifted my 300 gallon acrylic.

Call them and ask how thick the glass is and the tank dimensions. If it is this size 180 Gallon 72 1/2 x 24 1/2 x 25 5/8 it will weigh the 338 pounds as posted. Two guys can move it......make sure they ate their Wheaties that morning. U2 if you are on the lifting/moving end.
If not the above size then let me know and I will get the weight for you...if glass is thicker and dimensions are different.
Sorry..had to edit the site with the calculator...they sell "stuff" and I just checked and the old calculator has been changed so it will not give you a tank only weight.
The thickenss of the glass on the 180 should be 1/2"

Several websites agree with this weight for an empty 180 galss tank with the measurements I posted. . I would think it is accurate.

 

[scubadoo]

Manufacturers websites...I can't link due to the rules.

Here is an on-line calculator for aquairums. Site does not sell. You will get a message regarding not putting in substrate whne you click calculate the first time , ...click calculate a second time and you will get the tank weight only ..and a bunch of other info.

yah i totally can't even pick up a 1/4 full 10g on my own.
...that's my husband's job!

holy crap you are 7'2"!? do you have a pic of yourself standing next to someone else? lol

Just said it sounds alittle light, but I've moved plenty of big tanks and they usually are a tad more than what manufacture says
