HI everyone... not sure where this should go....
I'm looking at buying a 8' x 4' x 2.5' glass tank. It's sitting in the guy's garage so it should be "easy" to get onto a trailer. Is there any special precautions one must take when moving something like this? Put some foam under the tank and put it on the flattest surface possible I would guess? It's going to weigh a ton and I'm pretty intimidated by the idea of moving this. Will it be ok to roll onto it's side (to fit through door frames) and "slide" it down some fairly plush carpeted stairs? Would appreciate info from anyone who has done this sort of thing. The largest I've ever moved previously was 180g and it wasn't easy... and I'm sure it's about 4x heavier than that.
