Reefer Addict-man it must weigh more than the tank itself when filled with water. you were not kidding when you said overengineered. 
i can tell you where to hide if there is a tornado warning.

Awesome tank Das! What, if any, type of bracing did you use around the top? Tell us about the glass thickness. Bob

oh saaaawweeeeet!!!!!
rwd summed it up for me.. what's the glass or acrylic dimensions?
i'm planning mine 8' long 2' deep, 2' high. i really want to go higher than 2' but havent found a good estimate on glass or acrylic thickness for that height. every referance i find says dont go higher that 2' for a plywood tank.
can't wait to see that finished!!
