Well i found a diy on building a 190 gallon acrylic tank with 1/2" thick acrylic. Sounds like it would be fun and a real challenge to do. I have a couple questions though..

I live in the basement and it is huge. I know that is about 1580 pounds of water once its filled..

#1 - What would support the weight of all that water and the tank
#2 - Would my basement be able to handle that much weight?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
sounds cool! if your basement floor is cement, it will definatly hold up the wieght... you would need some sort of home made stand, very strong one too
