Good luck with that. I would think most movers would be a gong show actually.
Maybe try calling the aquarium shops or the builders themselves and ask what they recommend.
We ("we" being "a bunch of canreefers") hauled out a 300ish gallon tank (6' x 6') out of a fellow Canreefers basement onto a waiting van (Chin Lee and Seahorse-fanatic came out to Calgary from Vancouver to buy this tank). You should have seen the rig that Chin built for this tank. He built a wooden sled with rope runners that about 6 of us on each side could haul on (a little like two rows of sled dogs). This behemoth of a tank came out of that basement in very little time and without a ding on it.
I guess what I'm saying is I'd be kind of surprised if any professional movers would go to this extreme for moving a tank. They'd be like "Oh, it broke. Ok call the office and make a claim" and then they'd leave. Whereas if you could get a party together we might be able to do you better, course you'd kind of need two parties though, one for loading the tank in Calgary, one for unloading in Edmonton. I guess that makes it trickier to organize.
Good luck. If you do decide on the lifting party, I'll do what I can to help out. It's only fair, I've asked for help on many occasions on the board so I always try to pay the favour forward when I can ..
