How much does a 120g tank weigh?

Can 2 men move one of these?

I'm picking up a new 48"x24" tank. Do I need to get more help?

I have one and as long as you don't lift higher than 4', you should be ok. That was the big hundle for us, getting it on the stand.

I had to get help but I also just had my 2nd knee surgery. Two people should be good.

s is fine as long as they are comfortable lifting decent weight. I would guess mine to be about 175-200 pounds empty.
