I have to ask.... How do you guys move these monsters? I have a 180 glass and it took four strong guys and beer. Roll them on furniture dollys until the final location?
Ah you weaklings. It only took two guys and a girl (who is short and skinny btw) to move my 225 which I believe has 3/4" glass.
 
My 300 3/4 inch glass took 6 guys (bigger ones) with 1 spare and over 2 flats of beer to move it 50 feet from the 18 wheeler through my shop into a window in the basement...... And it was no easy task..... The shipping company said quite clearly with the stand, sump and tank it was a total 1440 lbs shipping weight and would not let us use the power tailgate!!!!!!!!!!
It SUCKED...... Ill sell my house with tank included LOL

Our pacu have outgrown their 300 gallon tank. We've been in the process of upgrading their living quarters for over a year.

Their new house has been in a storage facility since February.
Saw the tank for about 1 minute when we opened the crating to check for shipping damage

The stands my husband made came home yesterday both nicely powder coated.

Stand for the 405 gallon sump which will be sitting on the floor

Stand is gorgeous with its high gloss finish

Constructed with 3.5" tubular steel, it took a forklift to get the stand on the trailer.

My 450 was put into a pick up truck with a fork lift and 5 guys. It was removed from the truck with 9 guys, 2 women, 1 jack, 1 dolly, 2 sets of ramps and a lot of hot dogs and buns and stuff.

Putting up onto the stand was done with an engine hoist. How many people can say they have had a crane in their living room?

You got your set up done so quickly! Ours has been an agonizingly slow process...
 
PacuMom, that is going to be an incredible setup!!!! How are you going to fit it through any doorways whatsoever? Also, what is the gallonage on the tank?
