No matter what you do, I think you should demand a new tank. They can take your damaged tank as salvage, fix it and sell it to minimize their loss. The unknown is unacceptable. Once the movers fix your tank they are going to have you sign a release. When you sign that document you are SOL for future incidents. Demand to know who their Insurer is and file a claim directly through them. Or your home insurance may have level of transit coverage included in your current package. If "your" home insurance pays for the loss they will go after the movers insurers to subrogate their loss. This would be a good conversation to have with "your" insurance Broker.
I cannot imagine the damage that a tank of that size would cause to your new home in addition to the livestock you would lose as a result of a rupture. I am a Commercial Insurance Broker by trade and would not accept anything less.
I also live in St. Albert, so feel free to PM me and I can provide you with guidance to help you through the process.
