Purchased a 120 SCA, Questions?

I put a Hold Payment on a SCA 120 gallon Aquarium with Low Iron Glass, and the Internal Overflow. Buying it Previously Owned, Low Milage. Does anyone know what this tank weights?

I have a Fijicube that's 48x24x22.5 that weighs quite a bit. Two strong guys from the LFS moved it inside for me so not too heavy. Probably 150-200lbs with the 15mm glass.

My 112g system was over 600lbs total. This was tank with sump, stand and aquarium. My guess is, well over 350lb on your aquarium. As my husband and me could move everything, but the aquarium.

On my aquariums package it said 216kg if I recall correctly. It was probably more. I would call/email steve and ask him. He's pretty communicative.

Called SCA, the 120 Starfire 12mm Low Iron Three Sides. The aquarium weighs 280 lbs.

Heavier than I thought... mine must be heavier with the 15mm glass. In hindsight, the crate with the stand, sump, tank and ATO was listed as 550lbs. I'm impressed that 2 guys carried my tank to the basement.

Professional movers are the way to go. If you can afford it.

280. Lighter than i expected. I love my 112g though.
Hope to see the build of it :)

I was having trouble getting everyone lined up to move the tank inside so I hired one of the LFS to do it for me. Peace of mind and worth the money.

Pita for us. Took 4 people to safely get our tank in the house. Up the stairs, turn a few corners. Fun stuff. At least i didnt have to do any lifting.
