I'm wondering how you guys that have big glass tanks getting them into your house and onto the stand? I have a 270g (84x30x25) glass tank on order and am trying to work out the logistics of getting it on the stand.
I know it is going to take a lot of guys to move it, but how many have you guys found to be the correct number? Do I need to buy a bunch of those glass suction cup holders or would it be better to build kind of a wooden stretcher out of 2x4s and plywood and hand holds to set the tank on and then carry it in on that? I could also build a rolling table to set that on once inside so that it could be rolled over to the stand (that would only be about 10 feet from the front door) and slid from it the stand.
The rolling stand seems like it might be over kill, but it would make it easier to transfer the tank off of the stretcher and onto the stand since the weight would be supported.
What are your thoughts on all of this?
