Relocating tank

[ajcjr420]

I have a 20 gallon tall that i wanted to just pick up and move to a new stand about 5 feet away. Can I do this without fear of the glass breaking in any such way? In the tank there is 17 lbs of rock and 20 lbs of live sand and its full of water.

THE GLASS HOUDNT BREAK,BUT WHEN PICKING UP OR SETTING DOWN,WATCH THE FLEXING,YOUR MOVING AROUND A LOT OF WEIGHT,GOOD LUCK:rollface:

Drain all the water into buckets and place your live stock into a ice chest and move it one peice at a time. I understand it's only five feet. If you pick your tank up with all the water and live stock it will break when it flex's and it will flex. Take some time and do it right. I learned this lesson many years ago with a fresh water tank good luck

I think I would drain as much water out as possible I dont think I would attempt to move it completely full I think thats asking for trouble....
