Normally I'd help but walking a whole two miles carrying a tank sounds awful    LOL

Not even on a dolly with beer on the other hand???

Thanks for the info Ty.  I think I can do better than pizza and beer

I'll post again when the date is solid.

Hi All,

Does anyone know someone that can move a 240G tank and how much?  Distant is about 2 miles and no stair involved.  I'll empty and dissemble all setups, just need help carrying the tank to the new location about 2 miles away. 

I'll need to move soon and start to think about how I can get this done.  Thanks everyone for the help.

Did you found what you're looking for? I have a 125 gal + glass tops + stand + xp3 canister filter for sale if you're interested. Asking $250.

Free. Will fit 24x72 tank. Was on a glasscage 240gallon tank that I removed.

Not sure if this is the right place but free if anyone interested. Wood base with glass shelves.

If this fall through. I'll be second in line. Thanks.

when cut down, you still have a gap b/w glass and overflow cover so water still can flow through that. I have the exact same issue with my tank, may be I just silicon the cover to overflow box to seal out any water flow in between. Also, I used the paint stirrer sticks from hd or lowe (for free) to level out my tank, they have two sizes and you can stack them if needed. Works great and free.

This stand look much better than the one I got. Mine is without any 2x4 or center brace, just 4 pieces of plywoods brad nail to each other. Great choice on the options btw. I really like it.

Thanks! I'm sorry to hear about your stand. Are you going to seal the inside? I plan on using a sealing primer or a marine paint on the inside of the stand. I'd like to paint it white so that it doesn't look so dark in there. Also, I don't want any moisture problems.

Thanks for that detailed reply and pics Sascha! Much appreciated! My goal tank is a ~4'x2'x2' 120gal and from what I can tell, I can get a Starfire from Glasscages for roughly the same price as an Aqueon (not including shipping).

Honestly, I love that size tank. My last tank was the same dimension except that it was 31" tall, which I didn't like. Taller tanks look cool but they have water flow issues and it's hard to reach the bottom. I was using grippers every time I needed to do anything. If you can, go 60" long so that you can house tangs better. In a 48" tank you'll be limited to the smaller species.

I thought about going starfire glass on the front and sides, but after talking to some people I decided it wasn't worth it. They say low iron glass is prone to scratching similar to acrylic. That and the price are the reasons I've avoided acrylic tanks in the past. I compared a standard tank to a low iron tank and didn't as much difference as I thought that I would. They say that a piece of sand in between the glass and the algae scraper is enough to cause significant damage. Everyone is different, but I'm not that careful!

I just use regular latex paint for the interior since moisture is not my concern (freshwater tank with covered sump). I found a roll of heavy duty plastic liner, 6f for $12, at homedepot and use that for the liner. You can use shower liner as well for more $$. I really recommend use some liners for the bottom, save my floor many times with water spills.

This stand look much better than the one I got. Mine is without any 2x4 or center brace, just 4 pieces of plywoods brad nail to each other. Great choice on the options btw. I really like it.

you may want to add some 2x4's to the corners. Also, you may want to google this, I saw someone on other forums have the same 300g and he has to add some additional support to the stand as well. Just my 2c.

Sascha, you may want to add some additional support to the stand build by glasscage. They build stand with very little or no brace at all. All rely on the plywood around the frame and with those doors/holes cut out, it'll weaken the structure. I got a used 240G build by glasscage and the stand was all rotten underneath and in the back panel, the tank will not survive long on top of that stand. I have to build a new stand as a result of that. Also, make sure you rest the tank on a 3/4 Styrofoam layer, glasscage will void the guarantee if you don't do that.

great, thanks Ty.

Does anyone have about 3' of 3/4" flexible pvc tube laying around for sale? Just need another 3' to complete my tank pluming.

Does anyone know where I can buy this by foot?

Thanks.
