It's acrylic, so no where near that much.

I'd take this in an instant if it wouldn't cost me my marriage.

8 X 4 X 2 1/2 doesn't fit into many basements unless your basement is on the ground floor... You can't get that around a bend in the stairs. You couldn't stand this thing up in a lot of houses with 8 foot ceilings. But I am envious and would love to have a tank like this.

my basement is ground floor...
or at least a walk out...

The problem is the doors/windows....

There is NO WAY this thing would get through any of them.

Building entrances and exits typically have 3'-0" doors. Turn the tank on it's side and it will fit. It's only 2'-6" high.
