That bites Colin - I don't blame you for being upset. When I moved my 230g into my house I rounded up my son (20) and 3 of his biggest buddies. I then talked to a couple of glass shops and they lent me the suction cups they use to move big pieces of glass. I actually had the tank in my horse trailer as that is how I transported it to Fort St. John from Edmonton. I tell you these guys were good. They picked that tank up - groaned a bit - but moved it in slick as a whistle. I, of course, supervised (I only weigh 110lbs so wouldn't have been much help with the lifting). If you can try to rent or borrow some of those big suction cups - they are wonderful for these kind of moves. Oh and get big young guys 'cause they all want to show each other who is the toughest and stongest etc. etc.
