Moving Heavy Tank in North NJ

[nvladik]

Hey guys, I am looking to hire some help to move a heavy tank into the basement. Any recommendation of a company that's done this before? Tank is 180, 3/4" glass.

Reef Trends possibly.

If it's not that complicated of a job, just the weight, you can always pick up some day labor around Home Depot or Lowes, that's what my friend did with his 180gal tank.

That's a heavy tank to go down stairs and tight turns. Depending on how wide the stairs are, you might only be able to utilize 2 very strong guys on each end. Another method is to use straps and slide it down the stairs using cardboard underneath. Still need strong guys to control the descent and shoulder the bottom though.

Exactly that, I am not comfortable using guys that have never done it and don't know what they are doing. So I looking for someone with experience, and happy to pay for the trouble.

Dave @ Reef Trends moved my 120g and helped set up my 110g cylinder tank. Highly recommended!

I would start with all of your local fish stores. Then you can reach out to reef trends.

Worst case scenario, beer, food and a frag will get most MR members Interested in helping.
