FarmerTy Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 If this is the tank on craigslist, it's acrylic. Two people should be able to handle it quite easily. If it is not, please ignore this post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshhh Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Yeah it is actually. How much would say it weighs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 You got me but not nearly as much as glass, that's for sure. If I had to take a wild guess, I'd say 150 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan H Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Depends on how thick it is. Ours is a 1" acrylic 240 (8'x2'x2') eurobrace and it weighs close to 400lbs empty. Most acrylics in this size range are 3/4" so they drop a good 150-200 lbs, so I'd say it's probably in the 200lbs range. We lifted mine with 4 people but that made it really easy. Could still have done it with 3 but 2 would have been not possible. You probably could get away with 2, but I'd suggest 3 to be safe (assuming it's 3/4").
