Thanks for all the nice comments and help selling the 300 gallon (especially the link to the info thread!).
Regarding moving it, it really has to be moved on furniture dollies (the flat top dollies with the carpet on top). Three strong guys could tip it off the stand and get it onto dollies, but it's really tough to imagine lifting it on its own. We had trouble with five moving guys!
The best thing would be to get one or two rolling scissors lifts, but the furniture dollies worked fine the two times I moved it. Once we got it on them, we just rolled it into the house, tipped one end onto the stand, and lifted the other end (three people). That's probably the best way to do it as there's little chance of dropping it. Also, the stand is built like a tank (4x4 framing under the skin), so it might as well take all that weight by leaning one end on it rather than put all the stress on someone's back!!!
Basically, you'd need a flatbed trailer or moving truck to transport it. We just rolled it onto a flatbed landscaping trailer, removed the dollies, got to the house, replaced the dollies, and rolled it into the den!
Let me know if you want any pics or any other info.
