Hi All
Just looking for some tips and tricks when moving a fish tank (picture below was taken a few months ago before everything grew)
I'm moving house next week and really not looking forward to moving my tank.
It's 120 x 50 x 60cm and made in braceless 12mm / 10mm glass
I was hoping to be able to move it but it's all looking pretty heavy
Tank only - 64kg
Gravel - 20kg
10cm water (120x 50x10 / 1000) = 60kg
seiryu stone / spider wood = 10kg
Total = 155kg
It's weighing in about the same as a piano, without the advantage of wheels.
Guessing I need at least 3 strong friends.
I've bought a garden sprayer and plan was to give all the plants a good spray every 20 minutes, drive will be about 2 hours. I'm hoping that in a warm car everything will be okay.
Just wishing that I had glued all the hardscape in place.
How do people move big exhibition tanks? Guessing there aren't any companies in yellow pages with bespoke lifting equipment..
