I may have an opportunity to get a 155 gallon tank cheap. What are the pros and cons of this size?
Are there things I need to be aware of, watch for??

Fresh water or saltwater?
The costs as you go up in size aren't small increases they are significant. If it's salt water the amount of live rock and filtration is a major investment, not to talk about the lighting. You also need more fish and other critters to make the tank look "Full" if you don't it looks barren. I did a 210 once and it took a lot of work.
I believe it is FW as it is in the FW section.
How about transporting it?
I always used 8 lbs per gallon tho I THINK its 8.3 lbs per gallon. 8 X 180 = 1400+ lbs... so id say with fish, and tank, and everyhitng else at least 1600 lbsoh my... how much do you guys think a 180 will weigh? about 400 lbs?
