Call for help w/ moving Tank

[sun1914]

Calling all renegades and fellow reefers,
Hoping to get 3 maybe 4 strong set of hands and arms to help me move my 75g. I just have to literally move it a few feet. Let me know if you're free this weekend.

Thanks

Sounds like you're planning to move a FULL tank...

If I have too, I'm willing to transfer some water into buckets but yes, the tank is full.

That's not a great idea...to risky

If I have to drain the tank more than 15g-20g gallons then I can move it myself....like I have before but it's more weight with sump etc than I can move "safely" on my own.

What would you recommend?

drain half or what ever to make it manageable, then pour or pump it back in.

When I had to move my 75G, I drained it almost all the way. Moved some rocks and fish to some bins with a heater/powerhead.

Although most of the weight is distributed to the corners, the rim at the base does rest on the stand. Carrying a tank at the ends alone allows for some deflection in the tank. The deflection is minimal and mostly unnoticeable but glass is a brittle material that doesn't allow for much deflection to begin with.

I wouldn't take that risk

:beer::beer:
I'm with you. This is a horrendous idea

Hate to see your tank break, trying to save a little time... Best off removing as much water as possible, and also any rocks that are not on the tank bottom, so that none fall and crack the glass. Doesn't take long to re-do the rock work and add the water back

Yo i got u covered i have me and 2 x3 people's line up already i have i 44g and my hommies have the own come on son the renegade got u covered lmk what else u need more man etc and whatever idea u wanna u try we in the building and we can see who sit back and have a laugh i wont be eat popcorn tho real mam drink or some clear after we get the job done... .and the renegade always pull true u already know ....i see mr still have alot of clowns on here

 

[sun1914]

Dubs. If I did everything MR dudes said I would have trashed the 75g when I chipped it.
They all said it wouldn't hold water and it was too risky to keep. Over a year and STILL strong!!!

To all the popcorn eaters, we'll be sure to post a video of how Renegades do .

 

[ijvasquetelles]

Let me know when if I'm free I'll head over with dubs

 

[Weicowireman]

I don't think anyone doubts that you can do it. They are simply saying it can lead to disaster. FYI your tank probably weighs +700lbs. That's a lot weight my dude.

Please video tape this, I'll even donate some cash for the rights to the video lmaoo.

 

[Nandez13]

MR community is always so supportive. I hope you end up draining a good amount of water but good luck with the move if you choose not to.

When I moved my 75 gallon I drained half of the water (left rocks and fish and corals in it also left the sump under it) then with a pinch bar raised each corner and put sliders under it. I was able to then slide it across the room to the other side by myself, but its always better to have some extra hands.
