Found out recently I couldnt figure out how to get my sliding glass doors out.
Really funny if you consider I built the cabin and installed the doors
They say the mind is the first thing to go.

Ya i think the first time i tried to do it was like umm duh. but then when i figured it out its a snap!
my buddy had his tank delivered the day they were replacing his bay window the only way it was coming in. i hope he does not move . lol the tank will sell with the house . lol
Took 6 guys to pick up my 300 and we only had to mve it like 10 feet total you guys saying you're moving these size tanks with 2 people and by yourselves I don't thinks so unless they are acrylic. We maybe could have done it with 4 but whay try

Yup they would be acrylic, i wouldnt buy a tank over 200gal that is glass.
once you get over a certain size, acrylic is the way to go IMOOpen the right door, 30 inches.... 
Open the left door, 30 inches ....
Open both doors, 60 inches....
That's a 5 foot wide by 81 inch high hole.
You just gotta love double doors

My 150s and 180 are glass. The 220, 270, 285, 350, and 360 are acrylic. All of my 100+ tanks were moved and placed by myself. The 270 just arrived this week. It's actual weight on the bill of lading was 334lbs (3/4" acrylic). I had to offload it from my truck (the delivery company brought it to where I work) haul it up the steps and across the fishroom by myself. The 360 arrived at 530lbs and I had to offload it from the delivery truck (moron didn't have a liftgate), haul it across the lawn and into the hatchery by myself. Partway across the lawn, it dawned on me that I could have an easier time if I loaded it onto the back of my pickup and drive it to the main door of the hatchery. But, I still had to get it on and off my truck by myself and drag the crate into the hatchery. It wasn't fun but, I am kinda big and have always been able to move heavy stuff. I guess all that digging I do when hunting dinosaurs pays off.

hows your hernia?
dude you have nobody to help? big or not bro your gonna hurt yourself Sadly, I've found no one willing to help. Or, they volunteer and never show up. I even tried paying "sidewalk temps" to help but, as soon as they saw the scope of the work they evaporated from sight. I never realized that most of the "Will work for food" sign toters were particular about the work they were offered.
