That's how they got it in so it should go out the same way. I calculate the weight of the tank will be around 550 lbs.

All the best wishes on the move guys. That estimate is pretty close. My Bro-in-law and I moved my 240 gallon 6 footer with the two of us but that was pushing it a bit. Luckily Just straight into the house and straight down 5 foot of stairs into the basement. 6 plus guys is a far smarter way of doing it.

On the up side the tank does not weight 550lbs, after seeing the tank and measuring the glass thickness the tank weight estiment is 475 - 485 lbs.
