Is there a calculator for that? Does it matter if it's acrylic or glass, aside from ease of drilling?

I went to the suggested link....the dimensions I put in were for about 90 gallons - that was no problem. But according to the calculator, the aquarium itself would weigh more than 200 pounds! I have lifted 90 gallon tanks (empty, of course) by myself and I would have guessed that they were closer to 90 pounds.

I know your in Taiwan but could you get a standard 120g and would the dimensions work for you (48x24x24). I'm thinking it's going be more cost effective to buy a standard size tank versus having one made that's not much different
