My expierience with moving company’s and large fish tanks is “sorry we do not move Aquariums of that size”. If a forklift is not an option then the best bet is a pallet jack. I have one at my place for specifically moving around large tanks. If the tank is still on the stand another way is jack it up and install some heavy duty casters underneath the stand. Or when the tank is delivered set it on a pair of furniture Dolly’s with heavy caster wheels. Then just wheel the tank around have two people on each end or more and slightly lift one side when needed to get over things like cracks, trim, curbs etc
I have a moving company, we've used pallet jacks to move big tanks. Usually lay plywood over lawns if needed and piano boards for going down stairs. They rent forklift style pallet jacks that can lift up like 5' vertical as well. A couple Genie lift material lifts could work as well to get onto a stand.
hehehe since you asked, here's how one MFK major leaguer moves his tanks.
