Well I have a 135g glass aquarium, and it takes atleast 2 people to move it (non-computer programmer type people too 
). The hardest part isn't so much the weight it's gripping it, if you just use your hands then you're basically holding the whole tank with the tip of your fingers. When I last moved mine I found that if I used a strap under the tank I could grip the strap (or rolled up towel, etc) I could hold it using my whole arm/forearm strength and it was MUCH easier.

Just to move it from one room to another room took two guys who are used to moving refrigerators and stoves and such.
To move it about twenty feet (from the person whom I bought it from) took three people - him (he really lifts weights, his wife, and me). So play it safe and get three.

Oh yah, I had about 2 inches of wet sand in the bottom of my 135 the last I moved it... so it had quite a bit of other weight *flexes*
