Hello Fellow MFKers!
I am struggling, to say the least, at getting a 220 gallon, 400 lbs, 6 x 2 x 2 1/2 tank up my stairs. I feel like I lost my man card today because I couldn't get the thing up stairs with the help from Zach(creepyolddude.) He held his end fine but I just didn't have the strength to carry 200lbs up anymore stairs.
The tank MIGHT go up if I can get a 3rd person to help. 2 people push from the bottom while one pops it up each step so it doesn't get stuck. I still don't think with the awkward curves of my steps that will work.
What I am thinking, and what I need your All's advice for, is to cut the silicon and carry each glass panel up separately, then re-silicone it. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is this a viable solution to my problem?
The stand and sump are already upstairs. I just need the dang tank on top of them both.
Thanks for any help. If anyone has experience and happens to be in my area of Frederick, MD, I would welcome any assistance!
