Re: Doc's Shark Tank

doc that isnt a hard problem to solve. when the first people carrying the tank get to the bottom of the stairs have the get there end of the tank low to the ground and the people carrying it at the back lift it up so it is tilted and that should give you more room to work with

Re: Doc's Shark Tank

we have to tip furniture up on end to get em into our basement. You'd be surprised what you could manuever around sharp corners. theres been times i would have bet hundreds against getting something down our stairs only to see it happen.

Re: Doc's Shark Tank

Doc I have a plan! Go to Uhaul on tank moving day, rent the type of dolly that has the straps(for moving large appliances) get some high density foam rubber. Put it on the dolly endwise with foam under the end lower the tank with someone downstairs helping one step at a time. Turn the corner and you are home free! Maybe put a piece of plywood between the glass and foam rubber to keep from stressing the glass. IT WORKS IVE SEEN IT DONE!

This normally would work but the twisting and angles put lots of stress on the silicone joints. Plus they weigh a ton(well not literally but my 180 weighs between 350-450lbs) made of half inch plate glass!

Re: Doc's Shark Tank

i appreciate all of your help. I am really sad I cannot get this tank. I told the guy to sell it to someone else. I am going to be satisfied with a 265. Just as long as I beat biff in tank volume. I spent last night dreaming of what fish I could keep in a 500 gallon DT and 125 sump. Stingray, 8 angelfish, two sharks, wow, it got me all hot and bothered!!!
