I bought this secondhand aquarium for free. It weighs 200-300 kg and has extremely thick glass. I first iwanted to place it in my room on the third floor but it’s too heavy to lift up the stairs. I was thinking of disassembling it and then reassembling it in my room. Would that be possible with silicone and things like that. It’s 220 cm x 70 cm x 70 cm. I want to make a palladium or aquarium out of it when it’s finished.

Could you donate it to a sanctuary?oh sorry just realized you just bought it! Forgive me
Theoretically yes, but if you have no experience sealing tanks, doing it by yourself would be a very practical way to find out how 1000kg of water looks on your floor.
Use it as a reptile enclosure or something, would be my recommendation.
Yes you absolutely could disassemble it and then reassemble it with silicone.
That being said, if you were to fill it with water it’s going to weigh ~1278 kg (~2800 lbs or almost 1.5 tons) before substrate and decorations. On a 3rd floor apt that sounds like a disaster waiting to happen and your apt may have some rules against that.
would be a fucking awesome terrarium
