I'm thinking your probably going to have to go with an acrylic tank that size. My glass tank is 300 gal and was over 800 lbs empty. We had to carry it into the house. We almost couldn't do it with 5 guys. The other option is to put it together in the basement, but I wouldn't trust my own handy work.

I think for a system that big you should have it hard plumbed into the drain. I have a single drain in my fishroom which works for water changes, sink, RO/DI waste. No carrying buckets of water.
