glad to see your getting it. What we did when i got my 7 foot tank is rented a uhaul trailer . simple , cheap, and safe. Maybe you can do something similar. The earlier comment about bringing 4 guys is probably very accurate, 4 or 5 depending on if its glass or acrylic. I know the glass 7 footer was extremely heavy, two large strapping six foot guys had a hard time getting it lifted onto the stand in a safe manner. Its in place now LOL, but it was scarey for a few minutes. I saw a pic once of a ten foot tank going into someone house in florida, they had 8 adults, 4 men (one on each corner) and 2 women on each side in the middle sections. That tank will be very awkward to move and place because of both weight and excess lenghth. Cant wait to see it though. Make sure that you place the tank over as many support joists as you can to spread out the weight. Shore up any joists in a basement with 2 x 4 or 4 x4 if you have to. We shored up our barns hay loft by making a T ran a solid wood board under 2 joists with a 4 x 4 under it in the center. If there is any doubt i would do it just to be safe. Have you calculated the weight yet ? must be extreme LOL.
