okay .. this is my predicament, right now my new 225 is laying on its front .. with the pvc connected through the drilled holes in the bottom .. the pvc comes out about 3 inchs past the bottom of the tank which is a dilemma.
anyways after hooking up the bulkheads etc last night .. tonight my uncle is comming over and me him and my dad will be moving the tank up onto the stand. they will be doing most of the lifting while i grab the front and rotate it back up onto its bottom in the air.
the problem comes in when we have to be able to line up the pvc into the cut outs in the stand and lay it down with no one getting their fingers smashed between the tank and stand. another problem would be caused by the fact that both my father and uncle are biggg boys and they only have around a foot of space or less on ether side of the stand before my walls so its gonna be a challange enough with that.
i know theres suction cups you can buy that help alot with this but i dont have any, dont know where to get them to quickly around here and it needs to get put up in around 2 and a half hours .. as the rest of the room needs to get cleaned up asappp before xmas and the tank is whats holding up the cleaning process.
any suggestions in the best way to move this would be great .. laying it on an angle on the corner then re-situating hands is best thing we can think up but still going to be risky plus then we run into actual tank riskyness
