Ha ha! You'll need a fork lift to move that baby!

Check out this guy's new tank...

That's a 180gal btw.

Hey Turtule, you all and DavidY should pool your resources!

I hope Scripta sees that post with the fork lift. Honestly, that's what she needs to get her tanks upstairs!

Taking the tank apart and reassembling it is also a risky option. The main thing is that you have to have someone who is good with silicone and a caulking gun

ha ha ha! Good one, Steve! :lol:

I was actually serious :shock:

uh, oh sorry.

I personally wouldn't do something like that. Assembling large glass aquariums takes some experience and would probably take more than a few tries to get it right. It would also definitely void any warranty. lol.

The service was great, even the truck driver at the pick up location was incredibly nice. It only cost me $1,000 for the tank, AND the stand, compared to the $4,500 one I was going to buy.

Wow i hope to be able to get one that size later on. I have to house both my girls. Please put of pics when u set it up.

No, just some guy from Maine (I think) who's building a new reef system in his new house.

My brother helped me build my tank (125 gallons.) The stand and frame were all custom made (he knows how to weld

) Depending on the design on the tank, it could be very easy to take a part and reassemble. You're right about the warranty though!

ooo you're brave! :cool:

I'd be too nervous about not being able to get it back together again without having it leak everywhere. :lol:

The sad thing, renting that crane for one day probably cost more than the tank including delivery...However eating a bowl of Wheaties every day for a couple months would only cost about $30 bucks.

Just ordered a 75 gallon aquarium (48x18x21) today and I will be picking it up at the white plains reptile expo. Great price on the tank and no shipping charge since I'm picking it up! WOOHOO!! haha

They are very friendly and extremely helpful!
