will increase the cost but I wouldn't trust doing it yourself on a tank that size

Hey all,
Thanks for the advice. I did some poking around, and it turns out that the measurements given were off. As such, it is 8'x31.5''x2', which works out to about 315 gallons (still big, but somewhat more reasonable and won't require stripping down and reassembly). In regard to the weight, I'm thinking it would be identical to having two 150 talls side by side. I'll let everyone know what shakes out. Luke

seems kinda sketchy to me, $200? Probably scratched up and a lot of water to put into something that cheap. It'll be cheaper to build a new tank on site that you know is safe than bring in a structural engineer to evaluate your foundation. Not to mention the hassle of moving that thing, I wouldn't even try as moving it won't only be next to impossible, it's dangerous and you risk weakening it or breaking it.
For a tank that size one of the cheapest parts of the setup is the tank, might as well go new with warranty. That's a lot of water and I've seen even new tanks that big rip apart at the seems. Scary but true. If you wife listen to what she has to say I know it's hard but let's face it they're usually right

I would stay away from it it is not worth the hassle. it will cost you more then it would to buy a new one that will fit through your doors by the time you ship it home then take it apart and put it back togeather and then have to fix a leak and the mess it makes.
OH and by the way it will weigh alot more then 4500 lbs if it is 500 plus gallons that is 5000 lbs just for the water never mind the weight of the tank a tank that big is going to be 500 plus pound.
