Moving tank ideas

What do you mean when you say "move them"? Are you just moving them to another spot in the house or are you literally moving them to another house? Are they going to be completely empty or still have gravel and some water?

An empty 75 and 90 can be moved by one person, two at the most. If you give a friend enough prior notice, hopefully someone will be nice enough to hop over and help you out.

I'm just moving them to a different spot in the house. They will have to be completely emptied (except for the sand) when I move them. My wife found another moving company that will move them for $130.

A 75 and a 90 are pretty light, your wife might be able to help (the money you'll save should be a good incentive).

I say the wife should help. I'd help my husband if he was into tanks But its more like he helps me. He's a good sport. All spouses should be

+1 my wife helped me carry a 75 a 90 might be to much. You have any neighbors? A 12 pack goes a long way! :beerut a add on your local classifieds or fish keeping site?

man up

you can do it!

I'm a 5'0" tall fitness instructor. I moved a 75 up a flight of stairs by myself. You should be able to move yours with help from your wife.

I agree. Empty the tank completely including the stand and you can move it. I've had to move a 125 on my own. Just stood it on end and gave it a big ol bear hug and waddled on my way. Lol. Good luck.

Not too long ago I man handled a 75g out the back of my car and about 50 feet into the back yard and into the den lol! Almost pulled my back and then I just got two 2x4's and a dolly and easily moved it not breaking a sweat lol. Getting it on to a 4 1/2 foot high stand myself did pose some trouble but I figured out you just lift one end onto a chair, then get the other side up on a chair and the put some books or something to get it higher and then just slide it in! Way safer than just using pure force. 90 gal is going to be more of a challenge but its surely doable yourself. Just empty everything, even the sand lol! Thats how I moved my 110!
