I have moved 125 gals by myself down some stairs u need strong rope a commercial dolly with inflatable tires and padding plus bungie cords.Put the tank on end put the dolly blade under and lean it back strap it down with bungies tight.Tie the rope to the handle big knot helps tie the other end to somthing strong enough to hold the weight carfully start the wheels down the first couple steps then untie the strong safe point end hang on tight and let gravity do it's thing tug of war style.When u get the bottom set up 2 saw horses at the ends of your stand lean 1 end of tank on 1 horse then put the other end on the other horse and get between the horses and push/slide the tank onto the stand and u are ready for water.lol eat your wheaties

I've done the same. It's a ****** though. Especially on steps.

the only problem with doing it this way is that I have to go out my front door down the steps around the side of the house through the basement door and then down some pretty steep pretty narrow concrete steps... I have to duck to go down the stairs it sucks but I guess thats what I get for buying a house built in 1910
Yeah u need a hand i didn't know u had to carry it for 3 laps around the house
and i know all about those antique houses and the anything but standard building codes those basements are a biaaatch.

I am the youngest of my friends at 26 well 27 march 24 they are all over 30 so I dont think that the old CC routine will work on them maybe if I say lets go to my wifes bar and I will pay the tab that might work.....(of course I get a heck of a discount)
