Kevman Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 So I am looking at a Move of my 300gl into my house from the Garage to in the house. i can get it in the house since it is on rollers. But how in the heck are you guys lifting these massive 500lb to 1000lb Tanks i know there lifting parties đ!!! Food, Drink, make a day of it..... but what if you live remotely and need to do it yourself.??? your input is greatly appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youcallmenny Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 You make a thread asking about what time people can come over and what you're going to bribe them with instead of hypothetically how they would do it!  In all due seriousness, people in this club are awesome about this sort of thing. @Ron Has more experience moving large tanks than most that I've talked to about the matter. He might have some more literal suggestions. Failing that, there's plenty of 'big-game' reefers here that have had to do it. I hear you though, my 140G display was a beast to get up the stairs, if not on to the stand.  3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Couple guys an some good communication  I've moved my 300 a few times and it normally turns into just 2 of us doing the main lifting an the other guys as spotters. I pulled a 210 and 2 180s out of a basement last year and it was pretty much the same thing, 2 with hands on and another guy for backup.

pdxmonkeyboy Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I had to move my 3/4" 6'x3' tank about 80 yards from the driveway to living room. Based on a lot of things, but mostly the cost of the tank, I called some movers. Six guys showed up and about 15 minutes later and a bunch of "mother of god, this is heavys!!" It was done. Cost me $200. figured pizza and beer would be $100. Plus back surgery....lolSent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
