I have no idea how many it'd take to move the tank. I don't move things anymore. I don't cut grass anymore. I don't paint anymore.

Thanks man cant wait to get started. And when you say you had 3 guys move is that because you moved it down the steps? Were 2 guys able to lift it on to the stand once you got it into the basement?

Luckily I live on a slab so no steps for me. Its about 20 feet from the driveway to the window its going in to the house through and then another 5 feet from there.

My old house I got like 7 friends one Sunday morning to move my 300 gal deep dimension into my old house basement. I just got 2(2 x 6) on the stairs and slowly slide it down. When I moved out I just hired movers to move it out and into my current house.

Yea it was a glass. Started leaking about 1.5 yrs after moving it to my current house. I had to hire mover to move that in and out. I now own a 330 (78 x 36 x 28"h). Acrylic which I lifted one side by myself.

glass is such a pain. And that makes me feel better. Two guys should be able to move it than. Ill have a third person help me to guide through the window its going through
