Relocate of marine tank 2 meter away

[dt8666]

Hi, thinking of relocate my marine tank. Anyone can recommend a good and reliable one that can do it for me?

Detail as below:

- 3 x 2 x 2.5 curve tank at side with both size viewing.

- solid 12mm tank

- removable top cover

- to relocate around 2 meter away

- Tank and cabinet are both in 100% solid condition.

What is the best way to do it?

Thanks.

Why not do it urself? Get a few friends over to help... if you hire someone, in the end it's like paying someone to do wat you dun like to do.... like removing all the water, removing the sump etc etc...

Best way or I would say the only way is take out everything;moved the tank set & put back everything.

Hope no casualties & gd Luck

You can try doing it yourself if its physically possible to lift up the cabinet up a cm to slide in as many of those grey teflon coated disks that you can find in DIY stores. You can then easily push the whole thing two metres away.

You need to drain almost all the water from your tank... I think its possible to leave the livestock in there if you're confident your whole operation won't take more than 10 mins. If it does, splash your corals to keep them moist.

Don't attempt this if you are not sure if the wooden cabinet joints are able to take the stress of all the weight being tilted all to one side for the few seconds needed to slip in the teflon disks.

You will need quite a number of these to distribute the weight and do get the largest pieces.

Good luck!
