A tank that size doesn't go down the stairs. You would be better off hiring someone like maybe aquarium illusions to disassemble it and rebuild it. Might be cheaper in the long run. Plus you won't kill anyone haha.

I was told it can be moved quite safely from the people who built it. It's very solid and can be slid down stairs slowly.

when i moved my tank 84x42x28 its only half inch glass so prob not as heavy 8 guys and a dolly i was able to pick it up to the dolly wheel it where i needed and then cover the stairs in blankets and slide it down the hard part was the pivot at the bottom of the stairs. crazy thing is im just renting and did all of this knowing ill have to get it out one day also used lifting straps and worked wonders had suction cups but hard to trust

when I move out I plan on crating it up with wood then it will have handles to hold on to it hook it up to the quad and winch it up the stairs it works in my mind so it has to work

I too will be moving out of this place rather soon. Mine is 3/4" glass and almost the same dimensions. 96" x 41" x 29". The logistics of the move are rather easy. It's sitting in a front garage and a truck can back right up to it. The place it is going is a straight line move, and then down stairs, and placed at the side of a large wide open room.

Ehhhhh. But it's 1500lbs at least. And it has to go down 11 stairs. The big bonus is that with movers you have insurance coverage. If it breaks I won't be out a couple grand. That will be my absolute last resort. Thanks for the comment.

I got F'd over really hard tonight. I had hired a piano moving company to help move a 450 gallon tank from one house to another. They show up at the house with the tank in a small, rusted, old pickup truck with a 6' box when they knew the tank was 8' long. The truck wasn't wide enough either. They aren't wearing uniforms. They don't introduce themselves or say hi. No dollies, blankets, etc. and only 3 guys. He walked off after seeing the tank cursing me out. I had told him in depth that it was going to be 1500lbs and the dimensions; I even sent pictures.

Does anyone know a reputable company that will get this done right? I'm appalled that someone could offer a service this poor.

Thanks,
Spencer

Seems like these bulkhead prices are pretty ok? http://www.conceptaquariums.ca/index.php/miscellaneous-1/plumbing-supplies.html

Where do you guys (most specifically the guys with large tanks using 1.5"+ PVC) get your parts from? I'll be needing some bulkheads, gate valves, pipes, elbows, etc. soon for a large tank I'm starting up. I would assume Home Depot but I haven't had a chance to check out their selection yet.

Cheers,
Spencer

Thanks! I contacted Mike for more details.

Does anyone know where I can get one of these? I've been looking for a while but can't find a place that will ship to Canada. (Yes I know that they get massive before anyone asks! :thumbs: )

This is amazing....

Just registered on this site. Not new to the hobby but never interacted much with the local scene. I currently havea 180g and 90g tank, but looking to upgrade to a 500+g tank in upcoming year or two.

Hi all, first post here. I keep in my 180:

paraneetroplus regani

paraneetroplus melanurus

paraneetroplus bifasciatus

amphilophus citrinellus

Herichthys "escondido"
