How big is the tank?

45gal sorry

Dude, throw some comma's in!!!! Maybe a period or two......It would make it much easier to read

On that note moving a 45 gallon is a piece of cake. Get you a Brute trashcan, throw everything in it. Move the tank out of the way, then put it back!

I moved my 40gal fairly easily last year. We removed 1/2 the water, but left in all the corals that were still below the water line. We got these moving discs from Home Depot that worked great. They are a white disc with some black foam and the heavy object(tank) slides across the floor to the new location on these things. They were $10 or so for about 4 of them. You need a few strong guys to gently lift the tank an inch or so up so you can slide the disc under. We put one on each corner of the stand. We just slide the tank slowwwwly to the new location. It worked for me.

Get about half the water out then you should be able to get a furniture dolly under it. I moved my 40 this way and it was cake. Just ask Shromy LOL

 

[Reefplumber13]

lol even if i have about 60lbs of rock?????

 

[shromy]

Cake, ummk sure more or less, would advise having someone that weighs more than 145 lbs to help you lol. wasnt to bad.

 

[shromy]

yeah even with the rock, I would say he had about 40ish in the 40b plus the sump was left mostly full.
