Moving a 1500gal+ tank...

[Lukel]

I thought i posted this for sure back in the summer when my buddie and i did it, but i just went to look for the thread and it is gone.... so...... here it is..
My friend picked up this tank for his restaurant,

Here it is at the Big Als Warehouse

it took too electric forklifts to lift it onto the trailer!!

we where short on straps, we had to stop at the local Home Depot.

finally at out destination. pulled the trailer out from under neith it, then had to turn the tank long ways to fit in the door, (After we took the door frame out)

these Telehandlers have Crab Steer, works really nice for this application...

Slowely pushing it in...

Got it in the door.....

here it is sitting in the room, working on the sump, with half of the trim put on

Is the tank in Port Colborne? I'm not so far away in London. Sounds like a good excuse for a field trip!

The tank is in Dunnville, the restaurant is called Johnny Famous, I reccomend the Surf and Turf, there is that tank, a 800 gallon fowler, and a 400 gallon reef.....

The big tank currently has 3 stingrays in it, and is set up as freshwater for now...

the 800 gallon has some show sized (9"+) Tangs and triggers

and the 400 is a nice mixed reef with a 10 inch soho tang!

Thx. Surf & Turf sounds like just the excuse I need! :thumbsup:
