Those dimensions, are almost 500g... :scratch: in glass it will be HEAVY!

Its actually around 429 gals but it would still be heavy made outta glass!

By 'tank builder' calculations, it's actually 478g, which they would call 480 or 500g

i used a forklift to get my 450 off a flatbed, 8x4x2 about 1000 pounds.

 

[arowfan]

yeah probably going with an acrylic lol but a 300 gallon will do- 8L x 2.5W x 2H
Bump!

I have a 300 gallon all glass n it's really heavy. And even though I had my beams n floors done I still get a lil nervous sometimes. GL but acrylic should be ok.

Why not look into glasscages.com. You could get it new with whatever you want built in. The rub with them is that they always do a "lousy" job with silicone but I have seen quite a few tanks from them (including one of mine) and it doesn't look bad to me!

Don't go glass cages. As far as going with acrylic, I'd say pointless. Your only going to save a couple hundred pounds in weight. If u have the money go with miracles in glass.

Dont go glasscages. Had bad experience twice. Caulking leaked both times after a few months. A friend of mine had one as well and side panel popped right out after 8 months. Not ever again for me.

Pointless ??? I think you are mis-informed. Not only is acrylic lighter it is stronger, lasts longer, scratches can be buffed out and is clearer than glasss. I guess these are all pointless...........

+1... have been using acrylic tanks for over 20 years (still have a 120g that I bought in 1993)...
my 450g was built by GlassCages and I have no problems with it, and many MR members have seen it in person.
