They have some huge dollies and stuff in his maintenance area we could use. Just gotta lift and sit it on them then lift again at truck. I'd want 6 or more people.
Yea that sounds like the way to go . Breaking the tank apart might as well just build one yourself at that point.
 
Jump on this, you will be happy you did. Sometimes more hands are not more helpful, through doorways and such. Make sure you have straps, suction cups, couple dollies, and I'd say 5 other guys, one one each corner and one in the middle of each long side. Good luck with this man, I'm rooting for you.
 
Honestly, I really think 6 guys will be a stretch. It would be best to have 8.

What are the dimensions of the tank?
It's 96 x 32x30 or there abouts maybe 96x31x31

The only thing we need people for is to lift at tank location then onto trailer then off of trailer into garage.

Those lights are worth $389 each new x4 I'm assuming the chiller is worth $300 or.more as well. Lots of nice equipment.
 
If you plan on using it as freshwater you could probably clean up and sell some of the saltwater equipment and make some of your money back.
 
straps will leave marks and do some damage on your backs. Two guys strapped my 300 gallon down a set of stairs and the bottom guy well needed a pack of muscle relaxers ... and a few beers. lol !! piano skids work perfectly !!!
