Efficient ways of moving large heavy tanks??!!

[wilkinson]

I didnt have to lift a single on of the three straight up in the air (240&150 are both acrylic and are relatively light). If youve ever walked an appliance across the floor thats how i did it off the truck and slid down hall and walked up on to the stands. The 240 had to go through a window on tk the stand. Piece of crap cake lol but no bs here as all were done by myself. Believe me or not but all my tanks are on stands and none were helped with as im too impatient to wait for someone to come help me out.

Just moved my tank actually just got done. Took 4 people to move a 180 with 1/2 glass. Lol had some sand in it took 5hours. Went from the living room to the basement we slid it down the stairs. Catching the fish was a pain water everywhere.

150 is a 2-1 man job =P just get a trolley or some 100MM foam and slide- push it around. getting a friend would be easier its not that heavy even with euro bracing.

Dude my 150 up one flight of stairs was a challenge with three guys!! Well the stairs had a mean angle to it and the staircase was super narrow.

An empty glass 150 weighs approximately 280 lbs.. A bit awkward to move especially if stairs and turns are involved.

stairs are easy, you just slide it up and down

^ yup lol. we moved a 8x3x3 down a stair case that only had 2cm to play on each side. total time was 5 minutes =P its not hard glass is quite strong long as u dont drop it or try wedge it you can be ruff.

Down is easy. How do you slide a tank up a flight of stairs?

Ya the moving with enough people and creative ideas of maneuvering the tank takes less than taking out all the hardware, substrate, deco and fish.
