Moving a 180

[firewill65]

I'm finally going to pick up my 180 tank at the end of this week....can you guys tell me if suction cups are needed to help with the move? I have the man power, just curious if there is anything else that will help. Also, what is the waiting period for the silicon to cure before adding water to a tank? Thanks

You should just be able to carry the tank with 2x4s under it, with 2 people on each 2x4. Where are you buying the tank from? Was it custom built? Ask the builder how long to wait for the silicon. I would imagine that it's probably 24-48 hours for it to cure, but I'm just guessing.

good luck with the new setup!

You will be able to move it with 4 guys, no suction cups needed. Post some pics when you get them.

Thanks...I purchased the tank from exotic aquariums (karen) in Miami. After dealing with glasscages, I was happy to pay a few hundred more and know I will be getting a quality product. The tank was custom built to replace a room dividing wall. It will be 76X18x29. Karen from exotic said 48hrs to cure...but its been built over a week now so it should be ready for water. Thanks again for the help!
