+Bmwaaron Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hey guys. I'm going to need some help moving my 90 gallon tank (1/4 full) about 12 feet across the floor. That way I can install the new tile floor and then the new 200 gallon tank. I think Andrew said he was in so if I could get 2 or 3 more people it should be a snap (maybe a poor choice of words when talking about moving a glass tank). I will be draining the tank to a couple inches over the sand bed and removing some of the live rock into some tubs to lighten the load then I'm going to pick up some of those heavy furniture disc to slide under the tank and I hope it will glide across the carpet with not problems. At that point I need to put the rock back in the tank and let it support everything for another 2-3 weeks. I can guarantee that there will be some frags because I always breaks tips when moving rocks in and out of the tank so if you wanted something now would be a good time. Here are some pics of the tank as it sits. Thanks. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckimble Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Depending on when, I can probably help out... When are you planning on doing the move? Hey guys.

+Bmwaaron Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 I was thinking on starting around 10-11 ish. That gives me time to put everything back together after the move and time to deal with any unexpected problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+dapettit Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 (edited) I'm going to pick up some of those heavy furniture disc to slide under the tank and I hope it will glide across the carpet with not problems. Aaron I will have out of state guest in town but, your are welcomed to use my furniture discs. I have some that are round and oblong. You also might need a hand truck to lift the stand and tank to get the discs underneath. I have one that you can use too. JLMK. Steve can I drop them by your place is Aaron wants to use them?
