We all know that monster tanks are heavy. Even acrylic ones are heavy if big enough. How did you get your monstrous tanks inside the house? Care to share some tips, techniques , or reflections on how you got those big boys in?
 
with my ''guns''
 
I knew a guy that had his 480 lowered into his house before the put the trusses in... the couple that bought it didn't like it and broke it to get it out...

Ive seen a tank like that on the web somewhere. Its for a acrylic tank manufacturer..
they had to crane it above the house.

my tank was a perfect fit

it was like those toys where you push the shape through the hole of that shape :D just on a gigantic scale :)

one thing ive learned.. and i learned the hard way... i will be using dollys the next time. Its a life saver.

same here, it was 24 inches high so we were able to bring it into the room sideways. door frame was 30 inches wide, so it was a tight fit
