moving a 180

[fliynhi]

What do you guys use to move your large tanks? I have a 180 that I want to start a build on soon but its a PITA to move around. Just wondering if anyone had any good ideas on easier ways to move large tanks. I was thinking about trying a piano dolly, any thoughts on that. Thanks for your help.

when i moved my 180 it was fully plumbed had the sump under it already and 200 lbs of sand what we did was or course drain then cut pvc pipes about 6 of them 30 " long and piched up one side slid it under and rolled then put another and kept going it worked great

Thanks mrferrit. That would work except that I have steps to contend with. From my garage to my living room. My brother and I picked it up to get it out of my truck bed but I was hoping for an easier way to get it in the house and on the stand. Any other suggestions out there?

i moved my 210 glass tank with a snap on roller cart ..
worked great
for livestock put in ice chest it keeps the temp stable.

suction cups they rent tham at home depot and they have handles on them you put them on the glass pump em down a few times and carry it with the handles they worked great for a 300 i had to move but it took more than 2 people

i swear if i ever sell my house the tank stays i am not moving that thing again
