We were able to move my 180 in with 2 guys. It wasn't too bad, but we didn't have to navigate around any stairs or corners.

i wont have any stairs or corners either. its a short walk through a door and in the living room.

I remember that day. JD and I moved his 180 pretty easily.
 
Worst case senerio, ask the place your getting the tank from to borrow there suction cups. I rented the ones from the store i bought my 200 from, and i had to go up stairs and down stairs and around things but two guys did it just fine with the suction cups. I just realized most fish stores here have them for rent.

that sounds cool, but i am the only one i have right now. ive been trying to recrute someone from work, but no luck.
 
that is a huge task! When i had to move a 75 by myself, I slid it out of the car on my knee. I had one knee on the ground the other was under the tank. My neighbors did not help they just watched i inch by inched it, and to tell you the truth I felt like I proly could have moved it farther or maybe could have moved a bigger tank! If you can move 180 let me know cause I am getting a big tank soon!
 
Two adult men can move a glass 180, but it's 300+ lbs. My buddy and I once moved a glass 210 (7'L x 2'W x 2'H), which was even heavier.
 
on the topic of galss weight anyone know how much a 7 foot by 3 foot 1/2inch piece of glass would weigh???
 
cut an over size piece of 3/4 plywood ,put the tank on it and pull the ply with a rope ..try to avoid humps and lumps thou. but u will need lifting help to get it on the cabinet.
