6 big guys if you can manage it and a flat bed truck would be best. We reciently moved a 240 (96x24x24) and it stuck out about 6" past the tailgate of our Dodge Ram. You didn't mention if this was a glass or acryllic tank...that makes a big differance in weight. I've moved a 330 acryllic before with one other strong guy but would never attempt the same thing with a glass 300. A ball park figure for a glass 300 is about 350+ lbs I belive.
Flat, well padded, furniture dollies with large wheels in pairs are lifesavers when moving big tanks around safely.

a glass tank that size is around 450pds. you will need AT LEAST 4 strong guys, or 6 average strength guys.
i just went through it, it took 6-8 guys and pick up with 8 foot bed, we had to pick the tank up and put it on the bed of the truck, then move teh stand in..then go back out and bring the tank in..Lil words of advice, measure your door ways and the room your gonna be putting it in..it might look like it will fit, but remember you will be losing man power on the sides...From 6-7 carrying dropping down to 4 its Fing HEAVY!!!
Is this one the tanks from the manufacturer in long beach? We were about to order one from them but the 240 deal came up in SD and we couldn't pass it up for the money. And yes 4 guys probubly could move one but 6 is a LOT safer.
